Royal Dutch Shell is considering a total staff pullout from the west of Nigeria’s delta region on Monday due to militant attacks, a senior industry source said, threatening more supply cuts from the leading OPEC oil exporter.
Heavily armed militants from the Ijaw ethnic group killed six people in a raid on a Shell platform on Sunday, the fourth attack in five days, prompting the firm to withdraw 330 workers from oil flow stations in remote Niger Delta swamps.
