The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has said the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) remains operational and continues to produce on-spec refined petroleum products.
Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd., Olufemi Soneye, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Je said: “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) wishes to clarify that despite a minor incident at a section of the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) earlier today, the plant remains operational and continues to produce on-spec refined petroleum products.
“NNPC Ltd assures the public that there is no cause for concern, as all sections of the recently rehabilitated plant are in full operation.”
The company had earlier dismissed reports of an explosion at the Port Harcourt Refining Company in Rivers State. The state-oil company described the report as ‘false’, noting that what occurred at the refinery was a flare incident, which has been contained fully.
Last November, NNPC Ltd. said the Port Harcourt refinery had commenced production after a long period of rehabilitation.
It said the refinery began truck loading of petroleum products on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
