Shell lifts force majeure on 250,000 bdp Bonny terminal

Shell reports $9.1 billion profit in Q1 2022, highest since 2008

The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC), on Wednesday, said it has lifted the force majeure on the 250,000 barrel-per-day Bonny export terminal, one year after it shut the terminal due to suspected sabotage.

The force majeure was declared on March 3, 2022, following a significant decline in crude receipts at the Bonny Oil and Gas Terminal, according to a spokesperson of SPDC.
