Exxon Mobil is working closely with its customers to minimize the impact of a brief supply outage in Nigeria due to a workers strike late last month, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
“We have notified the relevant authorities in Nigeria that the events that led to the force majeure have been resolved,” the spokeswoman said. “We are working with our customers to minimise any supply impact.”
Traders earlier said the company had lifted the force majeure on its Nigerian crude oil exports.
All of Exxon’s oil production in Nigeria, which averaged 800,000 barrels per day last year, were disrupted by a union workers’ strike late in April. Output has since resumed.
