Shell has evacuated nearly 100 essential oil personnel from a major production facility in the Niger Delta, following a series of attacks from a newly formed militant group that has vowed to renew the fight abandoned after a 2009 amnesty deal.
Some 98 Shell personnel were airlifted from the Shell-operated Eja Oml 79 oil production facility in the Niger Delta over the weekend, bringing into question the facility’s 90,000 barrel-per-day production capacity. The facility is run by Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary, SPDC (Shell Petroleum Development Corporation).
The evacuations come after militants of the Niger Delta Avengers attacked an offline oil platform in the Okan field facility run by Chevron late Wednesday.
"Approximately 35,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Chevron's net crude oil production in Nigeria are impacted," company spokeswoman Isabel Ordonez said in a statement late Friday.

I don't care any more
I miss thackney also.
He was our go-to guy on all things oil.
And nat gas too. His wisdom is missed.
Oil companies should have their own armies.
I agree. They can burn their poop and see how that works. Shell should cap that we’ll and be done with it.
I never did care.
They used to just engage in kidnapping and extortion. Sounds like these aborigines aren’t as smart as the previous batch.
All cultures are equal...
Looks like the nasty political infighting got to him. He cancelled his monthly contribution and quit posting in February.
Hopefully he will return now that things have quieted down; he didn’t opus out like some do, and it looks like he did leave the door open.
Good afternoon.
“Oil companies should have their own armies.”
They do in paradises like Venezuela and Nigeria.

I know a man from Nigeria,
Black as cole, Muslim.
Married to a very white Christian woman from America.
Tell me they don’t have issues
LOL!
Nothing to do with the thread, but they had issues before they got married obviously. Good grief!
Hmm, not really much of an issue. Hire 5-6 snipers on the roof, you’ll have at most a week or two of issues then the problem will go away
