NOW the chicken has come to roost. The effects of the militancy in the Niger Delta and the Federal Government's clampdown on them have shaken the foundation of the oil and gas industry.

Yesterday, the government admitted that it had no more crude for its refineries to process for local consumption.

Consequently, the Warri and Port Harcourt refineries have been shut. The Kaduna Refinery, though functioning, has no crude to process because the Warri plant, which feeds it is shut due to a damage to major pipelines. The only stock, which was reserved, will be exhausted in the next 15 days, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said yesterday.

The corporation's Group Managing Director (GMD), Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, who painted the pathetic picture of the industry, said in the next 15 days, it will run out of crude for domestic consumption.

So y r they telling us?so dat we all run out of the country or what?They r free 2 do wat dey like.

This should make front page.

If this is true, then interesting. However, seeing that powerful forces are behind the oil output of nigeria - be it legal or illegal. I very much doubt they can afford for this to happen - maybe in the short run though. I suspect their would be some sort of solution soon. Whether back door, illegal or legal.

By the way, we ain't ran out of crude oil. We are merely having supply issues. I think our crude oil reserves should last another decade or may be more.

run out of supply or run out of crude.

In 15days there would be no more crude-oil for the local refineries.

They will go back to massive importation of refined-crude-oil.

If you value your life; run, run far far away from Nigeria.

I hope Nigeria runs out of oil.

All the catastrophizing does no one no good. Focus should be on solution and not silly talk as some of the above posts reflect
