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.
