Shell' s Nigerian joint venture said "the force majeure which had been declared on Forcados loadings, following completion of repairs on the Trans Forcados Pipeline," was lifted on Tuesday.
Force majeure, a legal term releasing a company from contractual obligations owing to circumstances beyond its control, was declared on Forcados loadings on October 10 as a result of production shutdown due to a sabotage leak on the Trans Forcados Pipeline.
Pipeline damage and associated spills are common in Nigeria ' s oil-producing Niger Delta region as a result of oil theft to feed the lucrative black market.
