Trans Forcados Flows Again

Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Operations on the Trans Forcados oil pipeline have resumed according to one of Nigeria’s senior oil officials. The pipeline, which had been shut for a week due to sabotage, resumed on January 24 David Ige, executive director of gas and power at NNPC, told Reuters.

The outage also halted a significant part of Nigeria’s natural gas production as gas fields had to be shut down because the condensate they produce alongside the gas is normally evacuated via Forcados.

“Forcados is a major artery…when this pipeline is out we lose gas production… (It) accounts for 40-50% of gas production in the country,”Ige said.
