Latest News from Ogoniland
Shell has closed Osubi Airport to military operations only. Shell owned helicopters operated by Bristow are now operating out of the Shell IA at Warri. Forcardos Terminal personnel were evacuated to Benin today. No news of either military action or attacks by insurgents. No news on the Nine Hostages that were taken recently.
The airstrip under construction at the Ogunu IA remains incomplete thus the 155's cannot achieve CAT A performance or use required profiles. Seems Shell reckons that is a secondary consideration in light of the current situation.
Makes one harken back to the time during which the Osubi Project was being forwarded as the best way to operate. Even then security concerns were raised but the Shakers and Movers failed to consider that while choosing the location. A location very near to the Ogunu camp was rejected in favor of the strip that was built clear across town from the Shell camps locations.
