DPR Directs Oil Companies to Replace Old Pipelines

DEPARTMENT of Petroleum Resources, DPR has issued a directives to all the international oil companies (IOCs) operating in the country to immediately embark on replacement of aged pipelines towards restoring efficiency and productivity in the system.
 
The Director of DPR, Mr. Modecai Ladan handed down the order in Lagos stating that the negligence to maintain a conventional standard which includes replacement of weak pipelines was partly contributory to the breakdown of the distribution of petroleum products in the country.


Ladan regrettably recalled that most of the pipelines used by the IOCs are over 20 years and incontrovertibly required replacement and complete overhaul of the system. He therefore charged all the stakeholders to always work assiduously towards improving on the system as well as embarking on intensive research towards discovering modern techniques of maintenance and protection of the pipelines.
