Oil prices fell, retracing this week's strong gains, after Shell said it could soon restart production at its 120,000 bpd EA oil field in Nigeria ...

Nigerian militants whose attacks have shut a quarter of Nigerian oil output threatened on Friday to execute anyone found on previously attacked oil platforms operated by Royal Dutch Shell.

Really, what kind of money would they have to pay you to work on those Shell platforms right now? I'm thinking Bill Gates-type money.
