Exxon Mobil says Nigeria's Qua Iboe production 'ongoing' despite blocked access to terminal

NEW YORK: Exxon Mobil said production was 'ongoing' at Nigeria's Qua Iboe crude oil terminal despite 'criminal' activity that obstructed staff access to a bridge leading to the terminal in the early hours of Thursday.

Qua Iboe is currently under force majeure due to an earlier accident that damaged a pipeline, but sources told Reuters earlier this week that Exxon had been ramping up production.
