Agip lifts Nigerian oil export force majeure

LAGOS - Italian oil company Agip, a unit of ENI, has lifted a force majeure on crude oil exports from its Brass shipping terminal in Nigeria after a sabotaged pipeline was repaired, a shipping agent said yesterday.

Unknown attackers blew up the Tebidaba-Brass pipeline on March 17, forcing the company to shut 75 000 barrels per day oil production.

An ENI spokesman in Italy said he had no news on the pipeline.
