Shell Nigeria Probes Oil Pipeline Leak

Shell Nigeria is investigating a possible leak on its Trans Niger oil pipeline, which passes through the Bodo community in Rivers state, after being alerted to the potential problem last week

“We are working with the community and other stakeholders to ensure we can safely look into and resolve this situation,” said company spokesperson Bola Essien-Nelson

No force majeure has been declared,she said.

The investigation into the Trans Niger pipeline comes days after another Shell pipeline in Nigeria resumed exports.

The cause of the Forcados suspension has yet to be determined by a joint investigation between company and community representatives in tandem with government agencies.
