The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says it has successfully restored the Escravos-Lagos pipeline system (ELPS) in Warri, Delta state.
On December 12, the oil firm announced an explosion which
occurred on the Escravos-Lagos pipeline, affecting power generation.
In a statement on Monday, Andy Odeh, NINPC’s spokesperson,
said the pipeline is now operating at full capacity.
“NNPC Limited is pleased to announce the successful
restoration of the Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS) in Warri, Delta
State,” the statement reads.
Odeh said the company immediately activated its emergency
response and deployed coordinated containment measures, following the
“unexpected” explosion on December 10.
He said the NNPC also worked tirelessly with
multidisciplinary teams to repair the damaged section, conduct pressure
testing, and safely recommission the pipeline.
“Today, the pipeline is fully operational, reaffirming our
resilience and commitment to energy security,” the NNPC spokesperson said.
“This achievement was made possible through the unwavering
support of our host communities, the guidance of regulators, the vigilance of
security agencies, and the dedication of our partners and staff.
“Together, we turned a challenging moment into a success
story, restoring operations in record time while upholding the highest
standards of safety and environmental stewardship.”
The NNPC said it remains steadfast in its pledge to protect
the environment, safeguard communities, and maintain the integrity and
reliability of assets.
On December 27, the Nigerian Independent System Operator
(NISO) said power generation in Nigeria improved after the Nigerian Gas
Infrastructure Company (NGIC) repaired the vandalised pipeline.
