The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Limited) has announced the full restoration of the Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS) following repairs to a damaged section in Warri, Delta State.
In a statement released on Monday, the company said the pipeline was successfully recommissioned after an unexpected explosion disrupted operations on December 10, 2025.
According to NNPC Limited, emergency response protocols were immediately activated after the incident, with coordinated containment measures put in place to prevent further damage and ensure safety.
“Following the unexpected explosion on December 10, 2025, we immediately activated our emergency response, deployed coordinated containment measures, and worked tirelessly with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the damaged section was repaired, pressure-tested, and safely recommissioned,” the statement said.
