LAGOS, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Two workers were injured in a fire
at Nigeria's Qua Iboe crude oil export terminal, a spokesman for
operator ExxonMobil said on Sunday.
Exxon said the workers were receiving medical treatment
following the fire earlier on Sunday at the process area of the
terminal.
The spokesman said Exxon was investigating the cause of the
fire and did not anticipate any impact to operations.
A third-party source close to the operation said a gas
leakage had exploded when workers tried to light a flare, and
that the fire had cut power at the terminal and suspended
loadings.
Qua Iboe is among the largest oil export streams in Nigeria,
Africa's largest crude exporter. December loadings were expected
to be 184,000 barrels per day.
