Port Harcourt, Warri refineries commence production, says NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday announced that Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have successfully restarted production after a nine-month phased rehabilitation programme. Port Harcourt refinery has already raised its operational capacity to about 60 per cent of its 210, 000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity, while production at Warri refinery was projected to hit 80 per cent of installed 125,000 bpd capacity. This will help reduce importation of oil thereby achieving economic stability in the country.
