In a major step towards resuming operations five years after the plant was shut, NNPC Ltd will complete test runs at the Port Harcourt refinery this month, the company said yesterday.

“Testing will conclude shortly, ensuring the refinery’s efficient operation. That phase will be completed this month,” NNPC spokesperson Femi Soneye said.

The NNPC expects to operate the refinery at its full capacity of 210,000 barrels per day later this year, as it undergoes an upgrade and will start by processing 60,000 barrels per day.
