The 113-kilometre segment of the OB3 pipeline has been commissioned and is now transporting approximately 300 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) from producers like AHL (250 mmscf/d), Platform, Chorus, and Xenergi (50 mmscf/d).
Upstream activities were noted to be stable, maintaining pipeline availability at 100%.
Additionally, the company indicated that more subcontractors have been engaged to expedite the mainline operations on the AKK project, and a revised approach has been implemented to hasten the completion of the OB3 River Niger Crossing.
Regardless of the profit downturn, NNPC stated it remains committed to sustaining crude oil and condensate production, improving facility uptime, and enhancing collaboration with stakeholders to boost operational effectiveness.
