Exports from Nigeria’s Forcados crude oil terminal will resume by the end of the month, Shell’s local subsidiary SPDC said on Wednesday.

Crude loadings from the terminal have been stopped since mid-July when a leak was discovered at a single point mooring. The company said on Oct. 4 that the operations would resume in the second half of the month.

“In addition to the repairs, we are working to remove and clamp theft points on the onshore pipelines to ensure full crude oil receipt at the terminal,” SPDC said in a statement. (Reporting by Arpan Varghese in Bengaluru; Editing by Jan Harvey)
