The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
NNPC says the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries
have commenced petroleum production after
some in-house engineers conducted a nine-month
rehabilitation on both facilities.
The oil corporation announced this in a statement
released by its General Manager, Public Affairs
Division, Mr Ohi Alegbe yesterday. The statement
in part reads
“What this means is that both plants have
resumed production of petroleum products.
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 statement added 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.
