Gas leak in Bayelsa is under control, according to Agip

 The gas leak at the Nigerian Agip Oil Company's facility in Bayelsa, according to the company, has been contained. Domenica Spina, a corporate spokesperson, said this in a statement. The pipe had been depressurized, according to the business, and repairs were being made at the time. Agip expressed remorse at the incident's considerable impact on gas production. Eni confirmed that a gas leak at the Ogbainbiri-OB/OB gas pipeline was caused by tampering from a third party, the company stated. The National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency's Director-General, Mr. Idris Musa, commented on the news and stated that the organization will be in charge of the inquiry. "In the wee hours of Tuesday, we received the report of the occurrence. As soon as it is safe to do so, we will make sure a full inquiry is conducted. "Our inquiry will be open and honest. In due course, we'll also release our results," he added. According to production statistics obtained from Agip, the leak may reduce its gas export by five million standard cubic meters per day (MMSCM/d), according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
