Nigeria's Port Harcourt refinery has started ramping up production following maintenance, state oil company Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC said today.
NNPC also said it had repaired a key products pipeline carrying gasoline to Lagos. It was forced to shut down the trunkline after an explosion last week near the town of Arepo in southwestern Ogun state.
“For now, about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day production capacity is being achieved, but it is projected that it will hit its installed 125,000 barrels per day capacity soon,” the General Manager, Public Affairs Division, Mr Ohi Alegbe, said while giving reporters update on the Port Harcourt refinery preliminary production.
He said that the Port Harcourt refinery would eventually hit five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
We are happy for this development.
