Lagos — The Seplat Energy and Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Joint Venture, JV, has announced a scheduled routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from February 12 – 15, 2026.
Seplat Energy Plc, a joint venture partner of NNPC Ltd, is a key supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited, NGIC, pipeline network,
The planned maintenance of the gas production facilities 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 minimize the risk of unplanned outages.
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 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.
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.
