据普氏能源资讯5月17日伦敦报道,分析师本周对标普全球普氏能源资讯记者说,很大程度上由于石油丰富的尼日尔三角洲地区的战斗增加,尼日利亚的石油产量已经跌至20年来的低点,这很有可能在今后的3至6个月的时间里影响这个国家的石油总产量。
现在所有的目光都集中到了军方和政府在解决这个问题中回应的有效性和处理能力。
在2009年的一次特赦停止了对石油设施的大量袭击以后,对尼日利亚石油设施的袭击在经过数年相对平静以后在过去的5个月里出现了上升。
袭击石油设施的惊人增加如今意味着尼日利亚不再是非洲最大的石油生产国,这主要由于一个自称“尼日尔三角洲复仇者”的激进组织在尼日尔三角洲地区里正在形成。
根据标普全球普氏能源资讯估计,由频频发生在尼日尔三角洲地区的武装袭击造成的尼日利亚最近石油生产中断已影响到了尼日利亚220万桶/天总产能中的大约80万桶/天。

Nigeria militancy could have medium-term impact on oil output
London (Platts)--17 May 2016
Nigerian oil output has slumped to over 20-year lows largely due to the rise in militancy in the oil rich Niger Delta and this is likely to impact the country's total output for the next three to six months, analysts told S&P Global Platts this week.
All eyes will now be on the effectiveness and the handling of the military and government response in resolving the issue.
Attacks on Nigeria's oil facilities have risen in the last five months following years of relative calm, after a 2009 amnesty halted a spate of attacks on oil installations.
The alarming rise in attacks on oil facilities now means Nigeria is no longer Africa's largest oil producer, and this is largely due to a new militant group emerging in the region calling itself Niger Delta Avengers.
The recent Nigerian production outages, which have largely been linked to the attacks in the Niger Delta, have impacted approximately 800,000 b/d of the country's total production capacity of 2.2 million b/d, according to S&P Global Platts estimates.
