BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Oil theft rises in Nigeria: Shell

April 10, 2018 Reprints

A report by Royal Dutch Shell P.L.C. said that theives were stealing 9,000 barrels a day in 2017 from the pipeline network of its Nigerian subsidiary, 50% more than in 2016, Punch reported. Shell said that the increase was partly due to the militant-induced shutdown of the Forcados export terminal in 2016. Theft and sabotage caused nearly 90% of more-than-100kg oil spills. The number of sabotage-related spills increased to 62 in 2017 from 48 in 2016, Shell added.
