Exxon says Nigeria oil platform raid cuts output
Exxon Mobil said on
Tuesday eight people were missing, following a raid on a Nigerian
offshore oil platform on November 14, that knocked out 45,000 barrels
per day of condensate production.
“Mobil Producing
Nigeria…confirms that unknown armed persons boarded the Oso platform
on November 14. At this time, eight people remain unaccounted for,” the
company said in a statement.
“NGL (natural gas
liquids) and condensate production of about 45,000 bpd on the facility
have been shut in, as a precautionary measure,” Exxon added.
Oso is one of Nigeria’s biggest condensate fields, with about eight platforms whose total output averages about 75,000 bpd.
