There was no crude oil loss recorded in Nigeria's largest oil pipeline in May.

In May, there were no reports of crude oil loss during transportation via the Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) to the Bonny terminal, which is significant progress considering the removal of over 400 illegal connections on the pipeline in April. This development suggests that the government's reforms, such as engaging private security and improving security measures and community engagement, may be paying off, according to industry analysts. The TNP is one of Nigeria's largest oil pipelines, with a length of approximately 180 kilometers and a capacity of over 450,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The pipeline connects oilfields in the Niger Delta to export terminals, primarily the Bonny Export Terminal, which saw a 24% surge in oil production from April to May, according to data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission. The improvement has been attributed to intervention works on the pipeline, efforts to curb bunkering and oil theft along the line, and increased injection from producing companies and third-party injectors to the terminal.
