Shell Lifts Force Majeure in Nigeria

Monday, August 24, 2015

The force majeure instituted by Shell on natural gas supplies to Nigeria’s NLNG facility has been lifted. The force majeure was put in place in early-August so Shell could fix a leak on a pipeline.

The leak was on Shell’s Eastern Gas Gathering System (EGGS-1).

“The leak was caused by a crude theft connection, apparently installed by people who thought the line was transporting crude oil,” a spokesman for Shell said according to a Reuters report.
