It sounds as if Shell has been forced to shut down most of their operations in the Delta, declaring "Force Majeure." Or however you spell that! That must mean a big hit for their revenues with major repercussions for the contractors. I suppose there should be a trickle-down effect on everyone from this.
So what happens now? Is that it for operations on-shore, with just the stuff off-shore still running? Too, how far off-shore is "off-shore," since the fields just off Escravos are only a short boat ride away for the Bad Guys?
I can think of a few Viet Nam-style scenarios here, with helibases surrounded by Injun Territory and the Bad Guys getting increasingly powerful weapons. No sense getting too specific about that, is there?
Well, good luck to all of you and do keep your heads down! I'm out in the middle of the Sahara now and it's real quiet compared to Lagos.
"How quiet?" you ask. Too quiet!
