It has been reported that the Port-Harcourt and Kaduna Refineries
has been shut down by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
due to Vandalization of crude oil pipelines. NNPC said it shutdown the operations of the refineries on Wednesday January 20, 2016. According to Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe "plants were shut simultaneously on Sunday after the Bonny-Okrika
crude supply line to the Port Harcourt
Refinery and the Escravos-Warri
crude supply line to the Kaduna Refinery were vandalized"
Before
the close of the refineries, Port Harcourt Refinery was producing over
4.1 million litres petrol daily while Kaduna Refinery records a daily
petrol production of about 1.3 million litres.
It would be
recalled that the 150,000bpd refinery in Port Harcourt and the 110,000
bpd Kaduna refinery resumed operations in December 2015 after several
months of shutdown.
