LAGOS (Reuters) - Shell's Nigeria subsidiary SPDC has begun exporting limited amounts of oil from the Bonny terminal as it works to reinstate full pipeline production, a spokesperson said on Saturday.
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) declared force majeure on Bonny Light crude oil exports in early March, citing a slump in flows to the export terminal due to crude theft and pipeline vandalism.
"While the Force Majeure remains in place, a limited export programme is in place from Bonny Terminal further to ongoing efforts to reinstate pipeline-based production," an SPDC spokesperson said in emailed response to Reuters.
"We are monitoring the situation and will announce changes as appropriate."
A shipping agent said loadings resumed on Nov. 21.
SPDC said last month it was investigating reports that an illegal oil tap ran for nine years on a pipeline it operates.
