The U.S. oil major has already shut down its operations around Delta state after MEND’s first pipeline attack on May 24, halting about 100,000 barrels per day of oil output in Africa’s biggest oil and gas producer.

Oil markets have largely shrugged off the latest violence, focusing attention instead on the broader global economy and its affect on energy demand.
