The Management of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries
have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month phased
rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and
technicians.
In a statement, NNPC said both plants
have......
commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after
successful test-runs, noting that while PHRC is ramping up its operation
to about 60 per cent of its 210, 000 barrels per day (bpd) name plate
capacity, WRPC production is projected to hit 80 per cent of its
installed 125, 000 bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt Refinery
is projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a
product yield of five million litres of petrol per day while Warri
Refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres to local refining
capacity.
Providing insight into the
rehabilitation exercise, the it noted that it had to adopt the phased
rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders (ORB) who
were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
