***Only Routine Maintenance In Progress
The NNPC Ltd has refuted speculation of an explosion at the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC).
This was disclosed in a statement released on Friday, February 7th.
According to the statement, any such report is completely false,
The statement signed by Olufemi Soneye noted that “On January 25, 2025, operations at WRPC Area 1 were intentionally curtailed to carry out necessary intervention works on select equipment, including field instruments that were impacting sustainable and steady operations.
“These intervention works are essential to ensure the production of on specification finished and intermediate products, particularly Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and Kerosene (Kero).
“The routine maintenance is progressing as planned, and Area 1 will be back in operation within the next few days.”
NNPCL maintained that despite ongoing interventions, over the past 11 days, AGO loading has been maintained at an average of eight trucks per day, with a sufficient supply available to sustain ongoing truck load-out operations.
NNPC Ltd maintains that it remains committed to ensuring uninterrupted product supply and appreciates the patience and cooperation of all stakeholders as it completes these essential maintenance activities.
