Nigeria Bonny oil output back up near 200,000 bpd

ABUJA, March 5 (Reuters) - Output at Nigeria's Bonny Light crude terminal, operated by Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L), has ramped up to around 200,000 barrels per day, a senior official with state-run NNPC said on Thursday.

Production was cut to around 90,000 bpd three weeks ago because of security concerns in the Niger Delta, the heart of Nigeria's oil and gas sector.

"As of Monday, it's producing around 200,000 bpd," the NNPC official said. (Reporting by Randy Fabi, editing by Anthony Barker)
