BREAKING: NNPCL announces Port Harcourt Refinery shutdown

  • The Nigerian national oil company, NNPC Ltd, has scheduled a one-month maintenance closure for the Port Harcourt Refinery, located in the Eleme and Okrika areas, starting May 24, 2025.
  • The shutdown follows decisions to conduct a one-month maintenance and sustainability assessment to ensure safe and optimal refinery performance amid ongoing stakeholder consultations.
  • The PHRC, with a 60,000 barrels per day capacity and currently operating at 70 percent capacity, was recently upgraded and resumed operations in November 2024 after a lengthy inactivity period.
  • Chief Corporate Communications Officer Olufemi Soneye stated that the maintenance will last about one month and assured that fuel supply will remain uninterrupted, adding the process will follow global best practices.
  • The maintenance may support sustainable energy security but has faced opposition from local fuel retailers who warn of potential fuel shortages and market dominance by private refiners.
