Shell Says Nigerian Oil Spills From Sabotage Rose 47% in 2007
(Bloomberg) -- Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe's biggest oil company, said oil spills in Nigeria caused by sabotage jumped 47 percent last year.

A total of 18,500 barrels of crude were spilled into the environment in 2007 in ``221 incidents of sabotage and vandalism to pipelines, flow lines and manifolds,'' Shell said on its Web site. That compared with 12,600 barrels of crude spilled in similar incidents the previous year.
