“Part of the expectations by 2017 is to target zero shutdowns as a result of militancy,” he added, noting that there had been “a lot of behind-the-scene engagements” that had produced results.
According to the Nigerian Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the country’s total production capacity is about 2.4 million bopd, though over the past few months it had fallen to as low as 1.4 million bopd due to attacks on oil infrastructure, such as one October 25, when militant group Niger Delta Avengers blew up the Chevron Escravos offshore pipeline.
