Effective August 21, 2015, the SPDC JV lifted the force majeure on gas supplies to the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas from the Eastern Gas Gathering System following repair of a sabotage leak on the line.
The force majeure was declared on August 4, 2015.
The Joint Investigation Team, which visited the site found that the leak was caused by a crude theft connection, apparently installed by people who thought the line was transporting crude oil.
The statement to this effect was signed by Precious Okolobo, the Corporate Media Relations Manager of Shell Petroleum Development Company.
