An explosion has struck the Trans-Niger Pipeline, one of Nigeria’s largest oil pipelines, in the Bodo area of Rivers State.

LEADERSHIP checks indicate that the incident, which occurred on Monday night, has raised concerns about potential disruptions to Nigeria’s already struggling oil production. The pipeline, with a capacity to transport over 450,000 barrels of crude oil daily, is crucial for exporting oil to the Bonny Terminal.

The cause of the explosion remains unknown, but speculation includes sabotage or equipment failure amid heightened political tensions and threats from militant groups.

The Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) is considered one of Nigeria’s biggest oil pipelines. It is a major crude oil transportation pipeline in the Niger Delta region, which is known for its significant oil reserves.

The TNP is operated by Renaissance and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and spans approximately 180 kilometres

The TNP is an important infrastructure for transporting crude oil from oil fields in the Niger Delta to export terminals, primarily the Bonny Export Terminal.

It has the capacity to transport over 450,000 barrels of crude oil per day, contributing significantly to Nigeria’s oil production and export.

Local residents described hearing a loud blast followed by intense heat and flames. While the cause of the explosion is yet to be officially confirmed, sources suggest it could be linked to sabotage, vandalism, or equipment failure.

Nigeria’s oil production has been below its OPEC quota, with February 2025 output at 1,465,006 barrels per day. This latest incident could further exacerbate production declines, impacting the country’s economy significantly. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities yet to confirm the extent of the damage or potential casualties
