    The Port Harcourt Refinery, managed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL through the Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited (PHRC) has commenced operations after undergoing rehabilitation and modernization.

    The refinery with 210,000 bpd refining capacity located at Alesa, Eleme, in Port Harcourt, comprises two operational units which were established in 1965 and 1989.
    The old plant refines a capacity of 60,000 barrels per day (bpd), while the new plant refines 150,000 bpd.

    It would be recalled that the Federal Government, under former President, Muhammadu Buhari, had in March 2021 secured a 1.5 billion dollars loan to rehabilitate the facility which contract was awarded to an Italian firm, Tecnimont S.P.A, a subsidiary of Maire Tecnimont Group.
