Italian oil major Eni S.p.A (ENI.MI) has restored production on the damaged Agip oil pipeline in Brass, Nigeria, according to a company spokesperson.

Around 16,000 barrels a day of Eni's exports were affected over three days. The Eni spokesperson confirmed that an attack caused the pipeline damage.

Nigeria's new oil minister, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, is trying to crack down on oil theft, but there have been several attempted cases in the past couple of months.
