Shell (NYSE:SHEL) has suspended loadings of Nigeria’s Forcados crude oil due to a potential leak at the export terminal, Argus reported Friday.
Injections into the terminal reportedly were halted since late Wednesday after workers suspected a leak near the single buoy mooring that was loading oil onto a vessel.
Forcados exports had been scheduled at 219K bbl/day in July and 234K bbl/day in August, according to Argus.
Separately, Shell (SHEL) will supply Morocco with 500M cm/year of liquefied natural gas under a 12-year deal, the country’s energy ministry said Friday, without revealing financial terms.
The gas will be transported from Spanish ports initially, using a gas pipeline that links the two countries, until Morocco builds its own LNG terminals, the ministry said.
