Seplat Energy Plc, a Joint Venture partner of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) and a key supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network, has announced a scheduled routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from 12th to 15th February 2026.
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the NNPC Ltd., Andy Odeh, explained in a statement on Thursday that the planned activity 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 minimise the risk of unplanned outages,” he said.
NNPC revealed that during the four-day maintenance period, there would be a temporary reduction in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network.
As a result, it said some power generation companies reliant on this supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could modestly impact electricity generation levels within the timeframe.
The statement said 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,” it added.
The company said upon completion of the maintenance exercise, full gas supply into the NGIC system would resume promptly, enabling affected power generation companies to return to normal operations. Noting that further updates would be provided as necessary.
