ABUJA (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell has restarted operations at its 115,000 barrels per day EA oilfield in Nigeria, two months after it was shut down for repairs, a company spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

Production was suspended in early September to repair a floating production storage and offloading unit supporting the EA oilfield.

"We can confirm production from the EA oilfield has resumed on the 8th of November and is ramping up," said Shell spokeswoman Caroline Wittgen.
