| Description: | "In 2008, Shell and Nigeria celebrate 50 years of oil export
from the country. The country’s first commercial export in
1958 was from Shell’s Oloibiri field making Shell Nigeria’s
oldest energy company, demonstrating a long term and
continuing commitment to the country, its people and the
economy.
Today Shell companies in Nigeria are producing oil from
land and swamps in the Niger Delta and from deep water
reserves some 120 kilometres off the coast, as well as
participating in Nigeria’s largest liquefied natural gas
(LNG) plant, which exports all over the world. Although the company’s operations are spread throughout
the region, their footprint impacts directly in only a tiny
fraction of the Niger Delta." |
