Two Oil Pipelines Burn for Fourth Day in Southern Nigeria

Two oil pipelines owned by Royal Dutch Shell are burning for a fourth consecutive day in southern Nigeria’s Port Harcourt area.

A company spokesman said firefighters have not been able to access the burning pipelines.

Both fires started Sunday in the Ogoni region of Rivers State.

A company spokesman said it is not clear how the blazes started. He said, so far, the fires have not disrupted oil exports from the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
