Another explosion rocked Chevron Nigeria Limited’s facility in the oil rich Niger Delta on Friday. The company had in the last few weeks recorded several attacks on its facilities and installations, for which the militants claimed responsibility.
Barely a day after the new militant group, Niger Delta Avengers gave a two-week ultimatum for oil firms operating in the region to shut down operations, an explosion on Friday again rocked Chevron’s facility.
Friday’s attack occurred in the Marakaba line operated by the oil firm in Warri, Delta State. Explosive was detonated on oil well head 10 on the Makaraba line. Sources said Chevron had declared force majeure on the facility since last Wednesday’s attack on the offshore Okan manifold.
Friday’s attack, as was gathered, was carried out by persons specifically engaged by contractors to work on damaged oil pipelines in the area.
