Nigeria’s Bonga crude oil export terminal has been shut due to the commencement of the routine maintenance.

The nation’s crude oil export terminal, which is operated by Shell would hopefully be ready in record time.

The operator, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) on Tuesday said that the maintenance on the Bonga floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) began on May 21.

“The scope includes statutory recertification and critical asset integrity activities and will run until July during which there will be a few days of total shutdown,” SNEPCo said.

Bonga was scheduled to load four cargoes in June, or 127,000 barrels per day (bpd), up slightly from May at 123,000 bpd
