No Nigeria Brass oil attack, operator Eni says

MILAN/LAGOS, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Italian energy firm Eni denied on Thursday that its Nigerian Brass River crude oil stream had been attacked by militants.

"We are not aware of any attack and there has only been a minor stop in production due to technical problems at one minor flow station at Brass. Production is nearly normal," an Eni spokeswoman told Reuters.

She was responding to comments by oil traders that output had been reduced at Brass River crude oil because of a militant attack on Feb. 24. (Reporting by Ian Simpson in Milan and Estelle Shirbon in Lagos; editing by James Jukwey)
