Bonny Light Crude Supply Disruption Following Trans-Niger Pipeline Fire

In March 2025, a fire on Nigeria’s Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) halted crude oil flows to the Bonny Light export terminal. The TNP, a major conduit for Nigeria's premium light sweet crude, was shut down following the incident near the Kpor and Bodo communities.
