Nigeria saw another attack on one if its pipelines in the Niger Delta, this time a natural gas pipeline operated by ENI. The attack occurred May 17 in Ogbembiri in Bayelsa state. The attack affected 1,000 boepd, according to ENI.
A group calling itself the Niger Delta Avengers has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks that have taken place in the Niger Delta over the past couple of weeks. In a threat that is reminiscent of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta or MEND, the Niger Delta Avengers warned oil and gas firms to leave the region or face attacks.
On a more positive note, ExxonMobil ramped up production of Qua Iboe crude oil, a week after pipeline damage had the company declaring a force majeure on exports.
