Seplat Energy Plc has announced plans to carry out routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from February 12 to 15, 2026, a move expected to temporarily reduce gas supply into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network.
Seplat, a joint venture partner of NNPC Ltd and a major supplier of gas into the NGIC network, said the maintenance is part of standard industry safety and asset integrity procedures aimed at ensuring the continued reliability, efficiency and safe operation of critical gas infrastructure.
According to the company, periodic maintenance is essential to sustain optimal system performance, strengthen operational resilience and minimise the risk of unplanned outages.
During the four-day exercise, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network. Some power generation companies that rely on this supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could slightly affect electricity generation within the period.
NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy said they are working closely to ensure the maintenance is completed safely and on schedule.
In the meantime, NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas suppliers to bridge anticipated supply gaps and maintain network stability.
Full gas supply into the NGIC system is expected to resume immediately after the maintenance is concluded, allowing affected power generation companies to return to normal operations. Further updates are expected as necessary.
