NNPC Says Pipeline Fire Won’t Impact Product Supply
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has assured assured that the Lagos pipeline outbreak will not impact on product supply in the area, saying the pipeline will be put back into operation shortly.
The corporation confirmed that it has 116million litres of PMS in Mosimi Depot, 7.5million litres in Satellite Depot and 35million litres in Ibadan depots, all within System 2B network.
The Corporation yesterday reported an oil fire outbreak along Atlas Cove-Mosimi Pipeline, otherwise, called System 2B pipeline in Baruwa Swamp area of Lagos.
According to the NNPC, preliminary reports of the incident indicated that the pipeline might have been torched by act of vandalism of suspected oil thieves who had hacked into the line to intercept flow of petrol.
The corporation, in conjunction with the Lagos State Fire Service, had deployed various categories of personnel to the scene to bring the fire under control.
