Shell shuts some Nigeria output, force majeure on Bonny

LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell said on Monday it was forced to shut 169,000 barrels of Bonny Light crude oil production in Nigeria for repair work following sabotage to a pipeline last week.

Shell has declared force majeure on Bonny Light exports.

“It will become effective as of April 22 and it will remain effective for the rest of April and May,” a company spokesman said.
