MarketWatch: Royal Dutch/Shell Group faces local lawsuit over Nigeria gas flaring

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Communities in Nigeria’s Niger Delta are suing Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD, SC) and its partners in a local court after the company said it would continue gas flaring beyond a legal deadline, the non-governmental organization Friends of Earth said Monday.
Gas flaring is the highly polluting process of burning off natural gas trapped in crude oil.
In a statement, Friends of Earth said last month Shell had announced it would continue flaring until 2009, a year beyond a deadline set by the Nigerian government.
