ABUJA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Shell Nigeria's force majeure on crude exports from the Bonny terminal will last for the rest of February and March, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.

Shipments were due to stop on Thursday because of leaks on the Nembe Creek pipeline, a trunk line that feeds crude to the Bonny terminal. Shell said 130,000 barrels per day of crude output was halted because of the leaks. (Reporting by Estelle Shirbon; editing by James Jukwey)
