Port Harcourt Refinery Celebrates Six Months of Uninterrupted Operations
The Port Harcourt refinery has completed 180 days of continuous operation, a milestone celebrated by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN). After more than 20 years of dormancy, the facility was rehabilitated with funding from Afreximbank and reopened in November 2024
PETROAN commended the professionalism of Tecnimont Nigeria Limited, the firm responsible for the rehabilitation project, and acknowledged the cooperation of host communities during the process. The association highlighted the refinery’s positive impact, including the steady supply of petroleum products like diesel, kerosene, and PMS, which has reduced the circulation of counterfeit fuel in the market.
