LONDON: Exports of Nigeria's Amenam crude oil are under force majeure, oil sources told Reuters on Monday.

Oil traders and a port source told Reuters that some oil wells feeding exports were shut down last week, leading to reduced daily production.

French oil major Total, which operates Amenam exports, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Exports of the grade are typically around 100,000 barrels per day (bpd).
