Weymouth Genova, Ann. Oil and Nationalism in Nigeria, 1970—1980. ProQuest. 2007: 123 [2012-04-11]. ISBN 978-0-549-26666-2. （原始内容存档于2013-05-30）. Weymouth Genova covers the possibility of Nigerian oil going to South Africa in detail from page 113. Heavily laden tankers have to respect the ocean currents which means they travel clockwise around Africa; oil for South Africa would likely come from the Middle East rather than West Africa. Nigeria had been taking over other oil marketing companies to reduce price differentials across the country; they needed to fill a budget shortfall due to low oil prices and had a history of disputes with BP and the British government so BP assets were seized when Shell's stake in SPDC was not.
