The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has said that a test run on the 60,000 barrels per day refinery in Port-Harcourt will be completed this month ahead of the full resumption of work.
Spokesperson for the NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye who made this known, said “Testing will conclude shortly, ensuring the refinery’s efficient operation. That phase will be completed this month”
The refinery, currently undergoing repair works, is set to commence operations at an initial processing rate of 60,000 barrels per day.
The NNPCL hopes to achieve its maximum capacity of 210,000 barrels per day later in the year.
In December, the NNPCL announced the successful completion of the Area 5 section of the Port-Harcourt refinery, including the mechanical completion and flare start-up with a promise that the second phase of repair works of the refinery would be completed by the 4th quarter of this year.
