Eni lifts force majeure on Nigeria’s Okaka gas exports

Eni declared force majeure on 6 April 2022 after the Ogboinbiri to Obiafu/Obrikom gas line operated by local unit Nigerian Agip Oil Company was damaged by a hacksaw cut

Italian energy group Eni said on Friday it had lifted a force majeure on gas exports from Nigeria’s Okaka in Bayelsa state after repairing a vandalised pipeline.

Eni declared force majeure on 6 April 2022 after the Ogboinbiri to Obiafu/Obrikom gas line operated by local unit Nigerian Agip Oil Company was damaged by a hacksaw cut, resulting in the loss of 5 million standard cubic metres per day.

A spokesman for Eni said in a statement that operations had been fully restored this week.

Disruptions to oil and gas production are common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, where pipelines are often vandalised and crude stolen for illegal refining.
