The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has uncovered an illegal 4-kilometre pipeline from Forcados terminal to the sea.

It said the terminal has been a loading port for the last 9 years.

The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), NNPC Limited,
Mele Kyari revealed this on Tuesday at the Senate Joint Committees on petroleum (upstream and downstream), and gas meeting.

He said the pipeline was found during a clampdown on oil theft in the past six weeks.

“Oil theft in the country has been going on for over 22 years but the dimension and rate it assumed in recent times is unprecedented.

“The Brass, Forcados, and the Bonny terminals, are all practically doing zero production today; the combined effect is that you have lost 600,000 barrels per day when you do a reality test.

“As a result of oil theft, Nigeria loses about 600,000 barrels per day, which is not healthy for the nation’s economy, and in particular, the legal operators in the field, which had led to a close down of some of their operational facilities.

NNPCL, and some assigned security outfits have clamped down oil theft in recent times.

“In the course of the clamp down within the last six weeks, 395 illegal refineries have been deactivated, 274 reservoirs destroyed, 1, 561 metal tanks destroyed, 49 trucks seized and the most striking of all is the four-kilometre illegal oil connection line from Forcados Terminal into the sea which had been in operation undetected for nine solid years.

Kyari said the NNPCL carried out aerial surveillance of the affected areas and saw economic saboteurs carrying out their activities successfully.

According to him, the level of oil theft so far have affected both social and security problems.

“It is not only security but social as locals in most areas where the illegal refiners operate, unknowingly serve as their employees by mistaking them for operatives of licensed companies for oil exploration and production in the area.

“It is not abnormal to involve non-state actors for protection of oil pipelines and other critical infrastructure as done in Cambodia and Mexico which produced desired results.”

After over four hours of interactive session, members of the committees proposed that capital punishment be put in place for offenders, which will be presented at plenary for consideration.

Mohammed Sabo Nakudu, chairman of the joint committee, directed Kyari to prepare for oversight functions on Port Harcourt and Warri refineries to confirm rehabilitation claims.
