After Two-Year Rehabilitation and $1.5bn Spent, 210,000 bpd Port Harcourt Refinery Achieves Mechanical Completion

Nigeria’s Port Harcourt Refining Company has finally resumed operations, meeting the target set for it by the federal government.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd in a press statement on Thursday, said it had redeemed its pledge of achieving mechanical completion of rehabilitation work on Area 5 Plant of the Port Harcourt Refining Company.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has been working to revamp Nigeria’s refineries, which were shut down entirely in 2021 and produced little or no fuel over the past decade.

However, the refinery with a combined capacity of 210,000 barrels per day, reportedly commenced operation on Wednesday.

Rehabilitation work has been ongoing at the Refinery for over two years and the NNPC Ltd. had pledged to complete Phase One of the project (mechanical completion and flare start-up) of Old Port Harcourt Refinery (Area 5) by 31st December 2023.
