\u201cWe shut down the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit on November 9 for scheduled routine maintenance which could last several weeks,\u201d Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) spokesman Precious Okolobo told AFP.<\/p>\n

He declined to give the volume of crude shut in as a result of the closure, but\u00a0 media reported that 115,000 barrels per day had been affected.<\/p>\n

SPDC, a Shell subsidiary, operates a joint venture in Nigeria in which the state-run oil giant NNPC has a major stake.<\/p>\n
