A fire has broken out on the Shell-operated Trans-Niger oil export pipeline in Nigeria, but oil loadings have so far not been affected, the supermajor said today.
The cause of the fire, which started on a section of the Trans-Niger pipeline in the Ogoni area in the southern state of Rivers state on Sunday, has yet to be ascertained, a company spokesman said.
The Ogoni area been calm for sometime now, but a longstanding dispute with Shell, which shut the company’s operations there for years is yet to be resolved.
A second fire was also reported on another pipeline that feeds Nigeria’s biggest oil refinery in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers state, the spokesman told Reuters.
