SPDC lifts force majeure on Bonny Light crude exports

Royal Dutch Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary, Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) has lifted a force majeure on Bonny Light crude oil exports.

A spokesman announced this on Friday, January 31, 2020.

It had been in effect since Jan. 20, following the shutdown of the Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) and declaration of a force majeure by the pipeline’s operator, Aiteo. The operator announced repairs were completed on Tuesday.

The NCTL is one of two major pipelines carrying Bonny Light crude to the export terminal.
