Refineries to Operate at 90% Capacity in 2013 – NNPC Boss

The Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has stated that Nigeria’s refineries will achieve 90% capacity in 2013.

The GMD stated that a schedule was already in place to facilitate for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the refineries. The Port Harcourt refinery is slated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2012, followed by the Kaduna refinery in Q1, 2013 and finally Warri refinery in Q3, 2013. The refineries will also begin to meet their increased capacity quotas in the same quarter as the TAM.

According to Oniwon, “The three refineries will be able to produce 20.3 million litres of PMS, 9.2 million litres of kerosene and 15.3 litres of diesel as compared to the average national daily consumption of 35 million litres of PMS, 10 million litres of kerosene and 12 million litres of diesel.”
