Oando PLC, a major player in Nigeria’s oil sector, has completed repair work on one of its pipelines located in Bayelsa State, following multiple oil spills attributed to acts of sabotage in recent weeks.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the company confirmed that emergency protocols were swiftly activated after each incident. This included shutting down the affected oil wells, suspending crude transport, and initiating measures to contain the spills. Investigations into the spills were carried out collaboratively with regulatory agencies and members of the local community.
Oando, which recently took over operations from the former Nigerian Agip Oil Company—a subsidiary previously owned by Eni—also disclosed plans to replace segments of the pipeline as a preventive measure aimed at minimizing the likelihood of future leaks.
