The Port Harcourt Refinery, owned by Nigeria, has officially commenced crude oil processing, according to Olufemi Soneye, the spokesperson for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC).
Soneye announced on Tuesday that the refinery is operating at 60 percent capacity, processing 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The facility has a total production capacity of 250,000 barrels per day.
