The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited said that Seplat Energy, its joint venture partner and a gas supplier to the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company pipeline network, will carry out routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from 12 to 15 February.
NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, announced the schedule in a Thursday statement and said the work could temporarily reduce gas supply to some power generation companies across the country.
In the statement, the company informed the public that Seplat, as a joint venture partner and key supplier into the pipeline network, had fixed the maintenance window for 12 to 15 February 2026.
The company said Seplat plans to carry out the work as part of standard safety and asset upkeep procedures.
It explained that the exercise will help maintain the reliability, efficiency, and safe operation of key gas infrastructure.
NNPC added that regular maintenance like this supports steady system performance, strengthens operations, and lowers the chances of unexpected outages.
The scheduled work follows the recent unveiling of the Gas Master Plan 2026 by NNPC, which aims to support industrial growth and strengthen the country’s energy security.
The plan aligns with the Nigerian Decade of Gas Programme and is intended to serve as the guiding framework for the sector.
NNPC also said gas supply into the pipeline network will drop temporarily during the four-day maintenance period.
Because of this, some power generation companies that depend on the supply may face lower gas availability, which could slightly reduce electricity output during the period.
NNPC said it continues to coordinate with Seplat to ensure the work proceeds safely and finishes on schedule.
The statement added that NNPC Gas Marketing Limited has engaged alternative suppliers to help cover expected supply gaps and keep the network stable.
Finally, the company said full gas supply into the system should resume soon after the maintenance ends, allowing affected power plants to return to normal operations.
