Shell’s subsidiary in Nigeria, Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), revealed that it has recovered over 95% of the crude leaked in two oil spills in 2018.
While crude was recovered from the two spills, SPDC also say that its Trans Ramos pipeline that carries crude to the coast for export remains closed. The pipeline, which carries some Forcados crude oil to the export terminal, closed in about four months ago following two leaks and has yet to see flows.
The Forcados grade, along with Bonny Light and Qua Iboe, is one of Nigeria’s three largest crude streams.
Although Shell has not specified the amount of crude affected by the closure, the pipeline has a capacity of 100,000 bpd.
