Port Harcourt Refinery
The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited said it has completed the supply of 475,000 barrels of crude oil to the Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited.
This, according to a statement signed by the Media Relations Manager, Abimbola Essien-Nelson, is in furtherance of the Federal Government’s commitment to increase domestic refining capacity and make products more readily available in the country.

She said BOGT resumed this supply last week after a prolonged outage of over five years, during which time the refinery underwent rehabilitation and integrity activities on its supply pipeline from BOGT.
Port Harcourt is one of four government-owned refineries that have been moribund for years, but which the government is trying to resuscitate to end the country’s reliance on fuel imports.
