A fire has broken out on the Shell-operated Trans-Niger oil export pipeline in Nigeria, but oil loadings have so far not been affected, the supermajor said today.
The cause of the fire, which started on a section of the Trans-Niger pipeline in the Ogoni area in the southern state of Rivers state on Sunday, has yet to be ascertained, a company spokesman said.

A second fire was also reported on another pipeline that feeds Nigeria’s biggest oil refinery in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers state, the spokesman told Reuters.
