Maintenance Work: SPDC Suspends Operations At Nembe Creek
The Anglo-Dutch giant,
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) said it has suspended operations in the Nembe Creek Oil Pipeline.
A statement posted on it’s website said the suspension was for a planned maintenance work on the facility.
Though the statement said it would be for a short term period, but it was not stated if it would also affect Bonny Light exports.
The Nembe Creek Trunk line is one of Nigeria’s major crude oil transportation channels used to convey oil produced from the Niger Delta to the Atlantic Coast for export.
It is also described as an invaluable asset to other operators in the oil industry as it serves as vessel available for line by other oil exploration and production companies.
It conveys crude oil from SPDC and other interested oil producers to the Bonny export terminal for onward transfer to the international markets.
