NIGPOST News Update: Port Harcourt Refinery Begins Operations
In a significant development for Nigeria’s oil sector, the Port Harcourt Refinery has officially commenced crude oil processing.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, confirmed this milestone on Tuesday.
The refinery, which has a total processing capacity of 250,000 barrels per day, has started operations at 60% capacity.
This means it is currently processing 60,000 barrels of crude oil daily.
This announcement marks a major step forward, following numerous delays in the refinery’s operational launch over the years.
While the move is seen as a positive sign for Nigeria’s oil industry, it follows a series of setbacks in previous attempts to get the refinery up and running at full capacity.
Despite this, the commencement of production at 60% capacity is viewed as a hopeful sign for the future of the refinery and Nigeria’s energy sector.
