Warri refinery now operational, doing 125,000bpd – NNPCL boss

 

Warri Refining and Petrochemicals Company (WRPC) in Delta State has commenced production after a major rehabilitation of the facility.

Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, disclosed this on Monday.

Kyari said the refinery is not fully completed but is producing 125,000 barrels per day.

He spoke to journalists during a tour of the facility on Monday, attended by key stakeholders.

The announcement is coming about a month after the old Port Harcourt refinery idle for five years resumed full operations, producing petrol, kerosene and diesel.

There are also expectations that the other state-owned Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company (KRPC) currently undergoing rehabilitation would bounce back soon.

The NNPCL in April promised restore the Kaduna refinery to 60 percent of its production capacity by the end of this year.
