ExxonMobil reduces staff at Nigerian terminal amid security fears

Dubai (Platts)--25Apr2006

ExxonMobil has advised non-essential staff at the 650,000 b/d Qua Iboe
export facility in southeastern Nigeria not to report for work because of
security concerns, a company spokesman in Lagos said Tuesday. Exports have not
been affected, the spokesman said, because essential workers were continuing
to work.
"We advised non-essential staff to stay at home, while essential workers
are continuing their work," he told Platts by telephone. "Production is going
on and we didn't evacuate anyone."
More than 500,000 b/d of Nigerian crude production remains shut in as
militants in the key oil-producing Niger Delta maintain and intensify their
campaign of attacks on oil installations.
