A Shell Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO)
vessel operating off the Bayelsa coastline, has been shut down due to water
leakage, an official has said.
SPDC Spokesman, Mr Michael Adande who disclosed this in a
statement on Thursday, said the vessel has been safely anchored for repairs.
He stated that the offshore crew on board the vessel
christened Sea Eagle, reported the water inflow into the hull of the facility
on July 24.
“The water inflow did not affect the section of the FPSO
where any crude is stored.
“An emergency response team has been successfully activated
to respond to the incident and to contain the water inflow,” he said.
Adande said that the FPSO could store up to 1.4 million
barrels of processed crude, and had a production capacity of 170,000 barrels
per day.
