PHR to commence production in 2 weeks

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd,  has said that the Port Harcourt Refinery has received 450,000 barrels of crude for processing following the mechanical completion of the plant in December last year.

Group chief executive officer of the NNPCL, Mele Kyari, stated this during a session with the Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Investigation of Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the nation’s refineries.

Speaking during a session with lawmakers, the GCEO called for the cooperation of all stakeholders in the rehabilitation process, stressing that all hands must be on deck to achieve the set objective.

Kyari assured Nigerians that the delivery date of the Port Harcourt and other refineries remains sacrosanct.

While noting that the Port Harcourt Refinery is currently undergoing regulatory compliance test before being restreamed, Kyari assured  that the refinery will start operations in the next two weeks.

He explained that while the Warri refinery has also underwent mechanical work and is still undergoing regulatory compliance processes, the Kaduna refinery will be ready by December this year.
