Port Harcourt Refinery To Begin Operation July – IPMAN

The 210,000-barrel-per-day Port Harcourt refinery will begin operations by the end of July, the Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) said Monday.

The IPMAN National Public Relations Officer, Ukadike Chinedu, who made this known, said the commencement of the refinery operations would reduce the price of petroleum products and ensure adequate supply and stimulate economic activities.

In March 2019, the refinery was shut down for the first phase of repair works after the government secured the service of a technical adviser of Italy’s Maire Tecnimont, to handle the reviews of its complex, with oil major, Eni, appointed technical adviser.

Speaking during an interview on Monday, Ukadike said the work done represented a complete turnaround, not just rehabilitation, emphasising that every effort would be made to meet the July deadline.
