The Federal Government commences the re-opening of the Trans Niger Pipeline which was previously shut down in April, the company is reported to transport a large capacity of up to 180,000 barrels of crude oil on daily basis.

Okay.ng previously reported that the company was shut down, due to oil theft as well as vandalisation of facilities on the oil export company.

Bonny Light which is among Nigeria’s top crude oil grades, is conveyed via the TNP to an allocated export terminal.

The pipeline is also seen as an important facility as it is vital for domestic power generation, gas and liquid evacuation infrastructure and the export of liquified gas.
