Thursday, June 2, 2016

The Niger Delta Avengers, a Nigerian militant group, claim to have blown up two of Chevron’s wells in the Niger Delta. The group said that wells RMP 23 and RMP 24 were the wells that they attacked.

The group has been claiming responsibility for a rash of attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta and Chevron has seen a few of its facilities targeted since the attacks began.

Near the end of May the Niger Delta Avengers took credit for an attack on Chevron’s Escravos terminal which damaged the Escravos tank farm main electricity feed pipeline, causing the shutdown of Chevron’s onshore activities in the Niger Delta.
