Shell says receives indictment request in Nigeria oilfield dispute

Reuters - UK Focus

Feb 14 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: 0LN9.L - news) said it received notice on Tuesday of a request for indictment related to a 2011 settlement of long-standing disputes over an offshore block in Nigeria (OPL 245) .

The tribunal of Milan has fixed the preliminary hearing for 20 April 2017, the company said in a statement.

"We don't believe a request for indictment is justified and we are confident that this will be determined in the next stages of the proceedings. We continue to take this matter seriously and co-operate with the authorities," Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) added.

Shell and Eni (LSE: 0N9S.L - news) on Tuesday said they have asked a Nigerian court to lift a temporary forfeiture of assets and the transfer of operations of the OPL 245 field owned by Shell and Italy's Eni, among others, to the federal government.
