(Adds Eni comment on export flows)

ABUJA, Feb 13 (Reuters) - An oil pipeline explosion in

Nigeria forced the local subsidiary of Italian oil major Eni

ENI.MI to close a pipeline feeding the Brass oil export

terminal, ENI and a security official said.

The explosion on Monday was caused by vandalism, Christina

Abiakam-Omanu, head of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence

Corps in the southern Bayelsa state in the Delta region, told

Reuters.

"The leakage aftermath of the explosion has been contained,"

she said on Wednesday, adding a suspect had been arrested.

An Eni spokeswoman said on Thursday the pipeline was in a

minor field and flow on the line had been halted for repair

work. But she said the incident had a "minimal" impact on

production, with the Brass export line still running.

The line transports crude to the Brass oil export terminal,

which industry analyst FGE said was expected to export around

90,000 barrels per day (bpd) in February.

There are nine flowstations along a 460-km (290-mile)

pipeline that feed the Brass terminal, according to information

published by Eni.
