Seplat Energy Plc, a joint venture partner of NNPC Ltd and a
major supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC)
pipeline network, has announced a scheduled routine maintenance of its gas
production facilities from February 12 to 15, 2026.
In a statement, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications
Officer, Andy Odeh, said the planned exercise is part of standard industry
safety and asset integrity procedures aimed at ensuring the continued
reliability, efficiency, and safe operation of critical gas infrastructure.
He noted that periodic maintenance is necessary to sustain
optimal system performance, enhance operational resilience, and minimise the
risk of unplanned outages.
The statement explained that during the four-day maintenance
period, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply to the NGIC pipeline
network.
Consequently, some power generation companies that rely on
the supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could slightly affect
electricity generation within the period.
“NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy are working closely to ensure
that the maintenance is carried out safely and completed as scheduled. At the
same time, NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas
suppliers to bridge anticipated supply gaps and maintain network stability,”
the statement said.
It added that upon completion of the maintenance exercise,
full gas supply into the NGIC system is expected to resume promptly, enabling
affected power generation companies to return to normal operations.
