Port Harcourt Refinery Begins Crude Oil Processing, NNPCL Confirms
The Port Harcourt Refinery in Rivers State has officially commenced crude oil processing, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria's energy sector.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Femi Soneye, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
“Today marks a monumental achievement for Nigeria as the Port Harcourt Refinery officially commences crude oil processing. This groundbreaking milestone signifies a new era of energy independence and economic growth for our nation,” Soneye said.
He congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the NNPC Board, and Group CEO Mele Kyari for their dedication to the project, describing it as transformative for Nigeria’s energy future.
Soneye also revealed that truck loading operations would begin immediately and assured that efforts were underway to reactivate the Warri Refinery.
This development ends a series of missed deadlines for production at the refinery, located in Nigeria’s oil-rich Rivers State.
