Shell Threatens To Leave Nigeria Over Crude Oil Theft by NwaNimo1(m): 7:10pm On Jul 08, 2022
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) Limited on Friday threatened to leave the country over theft of crude oil and production challenges.

The company’s Managing Director, Osagie Okunbor, who stated this at the just concluded Nigeria Oil and Gas Conference in Port Harcourt, said the crude oil theft has resulted in the shutdown of two of its major pipelines.

He said oil theft was one of the reasons Nigeria could not meet its oil production quota of 1.8 million barrels a day imposed on the country Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Okunbor said: “Two of our most important pipelines in this country today are shut down with hundreds of thousands of barrels a day shut-in.

“It is a fact that the issue of theft, whether as a standalone or as the basis for us to meet our OPEC quota is an existential threat for this industry.”

Shell has been in Nigeria for more than four decades and together with other oil majors has decided to sell its onshore assets to focus on exploration in Deepwater.

The Shell MD said local companies which won licences to develop marginal fields would face challenges in transporting their crude once they start production.

Marginal fields are smaller oil blocks located onshore or in shallow waters and are typically developed by local companies.

Oil theft has resulted in the declaration of force majeure at Bonny Oil

Shell?

The Ratschild venture that has used wars to consolidate itself as a major oil company?

This same Shell was behind the Igbo coup plotters and Biafran war.

Go and read up on how they stole Russian oil fields (Baku oil) during the Russian revolution .

Shell is the most criminal entity to exist

angry Everything is going wrong for a damned Nigeria..

Obi is a choice for the economy though dont know if he can tackle insecurity.. Nigeria needs to put insecurity to rest first before Economy can grow..

For this sole reason Atiku refused to pick Wike as Vice.. because during his campaign he continued to stress that if bandits hear his name Wike they will run.. ... undecided Get it in your head NO NORTHERNER WANT TO KILL HID OWN BROTHER ... That is why buhari is adamant about fighting terrorism.. Ratglher he choses to "Express Shock".. lipsrsealed

I deduce fro this that while Wike will never have his way in PDP.. if Peter Obi wins the north will definitely make Nigeria ungovernable.. I LOVE PETER AND AS GOD HAS GIVEN HIM THIS MANDATE I HOPE GOD LEADS HIM THROUGH. AMEN

Peter Obi should give 2% oil proceed allocations directly to LGA's and communities that produce oil and put a caveat that it would be given straight to their accounts but any LGA that allow bunkering activities to happen without exposing them immediately would lose that months allocation.

We can't continue like this even those places that encourage all these illegal activities are killing themselves through gross pollution.
Re: Shell Threatens To Leave Nigeria Over Crude Oil Theft by DOTian: 8:25pm On Jul 08, 2022
Make sure to pay billions in restitution for the unquantifiable number of environmental degradation in the Oil producing areas before you leave. This country is a victim in your hands. Very useless imperialistic organization.

Nigeria is fast going down and something urgent needs to be done else we are finished. If all these continue, 1,000 naira will exchange for 1 dollar and the economy will collapse.

Buhari has succeeded in ruining Nigeria.
