NNPC, Seplat Announce Temporary Reduction in Gas Supply

NNPC Ltd has announced a temporary reduction in gas supply following scheduled maintenance by Seplat Energy Plc.

In a press release issued in Abuja on February 12, 2026, NNPC Ltd, the national oil company informed the public that Seplat Energy, a Joint Venture partner of NNPC Ltd and key supplier into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network will carry out routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from February 12 to 15, 2026.

According to the statement: “The public is hereby informed that Seplat Energy Plc, a Joint Venture partner of NNPC Ltd and a key supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network, has scheduled routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from 12th to 15th February 2026.”

The company explained that the exercise is part of standard safety and asset integrity protocols aimed at ensuring long-term operational efficiency and reliability.

“This planned activity forms part of standard industry safety and asset integrity protocols designed to ensure the continued reliability, efficiency, and safe operation of critical gas infrastructure. Periodic maintenance of this nature is essential to sustain optimal system performance, strengthen operational resilience, and minimise the risk of unplanned outages.”

During the four-day maintenance window, there will be a temporary drop in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network, which may affect some power generation companies.

“During the four-day maintenance period, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network. As a result, some power generation companies reliant on this supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could modestly impact electricity generation levels within the timeframe.”

NNPC Ltd stated that it is working closely with Seplat Energy to ensure timely completion of the maintenance.

“NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy are working closely to ensure that the maintenance is executed safely and completed as scheduled. In parallel, NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas suppliers to mitigate anticipated supply gaps and maintain stability across the network.”

The statement assured that full supply will resume immediately after the maintenance exercise.

“Upon completion of the maintenance exercise, full gas supply into the NGIC system is expected to resume promptly, enabling affected power generation companies to return to normal operations.”
