No fewer than 14 crude oil export terminals in the country were shut down in April and May this year owing to power outage and pipeline leakage, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has said.
According to data in NNPC’s latest monthly report, a total of 4.36 million barrels of oil could not be produced in the period as a result of the shutdowns.
At Bonny terminal, a fire incident on some sections of the Trans Niger Pipeline on April 9 led to production shut-in of about 30,000 barrels per day for two days. It said a total of 427,041 barrels was lost at Qua Iboe terminal due to process offset at Usari; Edop production platform shutdown as a result of flare valve failure; and Ubit wells shut-in for flare management and maintenance.
The NNPC said an emergency plant shutdown at Akpo terminal from April 6 to 10 due to “spurious gas leak detection and production shut-in from April 13-17 due to unavailability of gas injection compressor” caused a loss of 160,170 barrels.
