PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (Reuters) - A Nigerian community, which forced ChevronTexaco to shut in 20,000 barrels per day of crude for weeks, has ended its dispute with the U.S. oil giant, saying it can resume production.

 

Unarmed villagers from the Niger Delta village of Kula besieged three flow stations operated by Chevron and oil giant Royal Dutch Shell on Dec. 5 in a dispute over jobs and development, forcing the multinationals to shut in a total of 120,000 bpd.

 

Kula chief Anab Sara-Igbe told Reuters on Thursday his community had signed a memorandum of understanding with Chevron earlier this week.

 

Sara-Igbe also said his community was in talks with Shell that were expected to lead to the re-opening of Shell's 100,000 bpd output.
