Eni lifts force Majeure at Obiafu/Obrikom gas line, restores production

Eni, an Italian energy group, on Friday, said it had lifted a force majeure on gas exports from Nigeria’s Okaka in Bayelsa State after repairing a vandalised pipeline.

Eni had declared force majeure on April 6, 2022 after the Ogboinbiri to Obiafu/Obrikom gas line operated by local unit Nigerian Agip Oil Company was damaged by a hacksaw cut, resulting in the loss of five million standard cubic metres per day.
