Sources Say Nigeria Dunning Oil Companies for Back Taxes -Reuters

The government of Nigeria is seeking up to $20 billion it says is owed to local states by foreign oil and gas companies, Reuters reports Thursday, citing "industry and government sources." 

The African nation's National Petroleum Corp. notified companies with letters sent by the government's debt-collection division, the report said. 

Several companies, including Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA), Chevron (CVX) and Total (TOT) are being asked to pay sums between $2.5 billion and $5 billion, the report said.
