TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited has declared a Force Majeure resulting from its NOPL Line vandalization at KP41 on January 7, 2022.

According to TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited in a letter to the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC), “NOPL pipeline was vandalized on 7th January 2022 at KP41 Alaoma Etche Cluster.

The Line Block Valve at KP38 was closed to isolate the sabotage point and depressurization of the line, this will affect gas supply to Alaoji (Power Plant) until further notice.

As a result of this development, TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited stated that “Gas supply to Alaoji Power Plant was suspended due to this unfortunate event. Preliminary investigation to determine the extent of the damage is ongoing, and repair works shall commence as soon as feasible.”

The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) Limited also confirmed the plant shut down due to the incident.

It will be recalled that Omotosho NIPP was shut down last month when Nigeria Gas Company (NGC) due to system wide curtailment of all gas shippers (gas producers/off takers) by Nigeria Gas Company (NGC) “to forestall the imminent collapse of the gas grid.” NGC said at the time that the Trans-Forcardos Pipeline (TFP), belonging to NGC was breached on December 17, 2021.
That breach led to the deferment of about 250 million standard cubic feet of gas, MMscfd of gas from the Pipeline Network, a situation that brought the Network Pressure to abysmal levels, thereby triggering an emergency.

The curtailment impacted operations of Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) Limited negatively with Omotosho NIPP being shut down and gas supply to GEREGU NIPP and Ihovbor NIPP also limited thus leading to part load or low generation from these available power plants.

The Management of NDPHC however assured its customers that Alaoji Power Plant and others will resume power generation as soon as gas supply is restored.

but you use the light generated from alaoji?

Afonja

Please stop the vandanlization of oil pipes.

Nigeria is suffering mainly from bad followers not leaders because we select the leaders from the followers.

The vandals must have finished the proceeds by now leaving millions in "Oh God mode"

alphaNomega:


Never in your life try to absolve the leadership from the decay going on in Nigeria. Do you think Dubai and USA don't have bad people? Even Japan?

No matter how terrible the people in a country are, it is the leadership that makes a difference.

Except you believe leaders are born and not made, leaders spring up from followers. A good followers will produce good leaders.

People are complaining of inadequate power supply, some idiots still went to vandalize a power station! Nigerians are wicked sha, maybe that's why God keeps giving the country the leaders that fit the people.

Abia state is always in the forefront of vandalization. They will vandalize newly laid rail tracks, vandalize power projects, almost all the roads in Aba are bad with deep gullies, criminals have vandalized Abia state, the dirtiest state in the country, government workers are owed salaries for up to a year. Infact there is nothing in Abia state to write home about.

Dis country sef.... We are our worse enemy
