400,000 barrels restored to daily crude oil output -NNPC Written by Monday, 23 September 2013 00:00 AddThis Social Bookmark Button The NNPC, on Sunday, said a daily production of 400,000 barrels per day had been restored to the crude oil output available for export in the country. The corporation’s Acting General Manager (Public Affairs), Miss Tumini Green, stated this in a statement she issued in Abuja on Sunday. 'The restoration of the 400,000 barrels to the daily production output was made possible by the re-opening of the three major trunk lines, which were shut down due to the activities of pipeline vandals. 'The affected trunk lines are the Trans Niger Pipeline, the Nembe Creek Pipeline and the Tebidaba-Brass Pipeline,’’ the statement said. It said efforts by the Federal Government resulted in the restoration of the three lines. 'One of such is the setting up of a Security Strategy Committee headed by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta,’’ the statement said. It said further that the restoration of the pipelines will enhance increased production and shore up the revenue accruing to the country. The statement commended what it described as the renewed proactive measures by the Federal Government to curb pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft in the country. It said efforts by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, have also started yielding positive results in the fight against vandals. The statement recalled that pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft had resulted in the shutdown of three major trunk lines, accounting for the shut-in of 400,000 barrels per day.
