Nigeria Shell facility invaded, 5,000 bpd shut in

LAGOS, April 11 (Reuters) - Protesting youths in Nigeria's Niger Delta have invaded and occupied an oil flowstation operated by a Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) joint venture, a company spokeswoman said on Friday.

She said the occupation late on Thursday had shut down 5,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil production, of which Shell's share was 30 percent. (Reporting by Pascal Fletcher)
