LONDON, July 9 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) said on Thursday there were no injuries or impact on its crude oil production from attacks on an oil pipeline in Nigeria. The trunkline attacked was in Nembe Creek in Bayelsa state, Shell confirmed.

Nigerian militants sabotaged oil pipelines operated by Shell and Agip on Wednesday, further cutting production in Africa's biggest energy producer.

Agip's parent company Eni (ENI.MI) said the attack caused a production loss of about 24,000 barrels per day.
