Nigeria's oil production remained affected as Chevron, major oil extractor in the west African nation shut down yet another pipeline due to militant attacks.
Chevron on Monday shut down its Dibi-Abiteye pipeline after it and two others were bombed by the Niger Delta Liberation Force (NDLF).
Chevron suspended production to minimize environmental impact and have informed relevant government agencies and other stakeholders.
However, Exxon Mobil said on Monday that it had resumed production in the Oso field, more than a month after its gas and condensate platform was attacked by militants.
Production of about 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day was shut at the platform as a precaution after eight workers were kidnapped.
The attacks from an insurgency that began in 2006 cut drastically into crude production in Nigeria, the world's eighth largest oil exporter.
Production has risen back to 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), in part because many militant leaders and fighters accepted Abuja's amnesty deal in October last year
