The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) is looking to hire reputable Operations and Maintenance companies to oversee the operations and maintenance of the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company and the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company.
This announcement was made on Friday via a statement posted on NNPC’s official X account.
The Warri refinery, situated in Delta State, was commissioned in 1978. It is a complex conversion refinery with a distillation capacity of 6.25 million metric tons annually (MTA), equivalent to 125,000 barrels per day (bpd).
The refinery complex also includes a petrochemical plant, commissioned in 1988, which has the capacity to produce 13,000 MTA of polypropylene and 18,000 MTA of carbon black. This facility primarily serves markets in Nigeria’s southern and southwestern regions.
The Kaduna refinery, located in the northern part of the country, was commissioned in 1980 with an initial capacity of 50,000 bpd, intended to supply petroleum products to Northern Nigeria.
The capacity was expanded in 1983 to 100,000 bpd with the addition of a second crude train focused on producing lubricating oils.
Further expansion in 1986 increased the first crude train’s capacity to 60,000 bpd, bringing the refinery’s total nameplate capacity to 110,000 bpd.
