Things definitely seem to be heating up in Nigeria:

Shell oil well on fire in Nigeria

New Nigeria helicopter attack in delta

One of the PeakOil.com mods has a father in Nigeria (petroleum engineer, I think). He says no one is allowed to leave the Shell/BP compound. (He also thinks the end of oil is nigh, and warns that the American way of life is going to change drastically. I think Big Oil knows what's coming. They may not admit it in public, but they know, and they've known for a long time.)

Actually I found the Video List not quite as shocking as another fire in Nigeria. I quess Shell is upset because they didn't start that one themselves? Their flares are bigger.

Nigeria suspends 380,000 bpd oil exports after attack

Royal Dutch Shell suspended exports from the 380,000 barrel-a-day Forcados terminal on Saturday after militants bombed the tanker loading platform, a senior oil industry source said.
The company is still trying to ascertain the damage to the platform, which is located three miles offshore, but has already begun shutting oilfields in the area which feed the terminal, the source added.
"Of course no ships can go near there now. This is going to be a major deferment," the senior industry source said.
"If we can't export, we can't produce," he added.
