According to a statement issued by the corporation ’s Group General Manager , Group Public Affairs Division , Ndu Ughamadu , in Abuja , Baru said that the refinery from Turkey would be relocated and installed near the Port Harcourt refinery under the NNPC refinery collocation initiative .
He was quoted as saying , “Our collocation initiative aimed at getting private sector investors to bring in brownfield refineries so that they can share facilities is also yielding results . For example , there is one that is going to be brought in from Turkey to be located near the Port Harcourt refinery .
“It’ s not a modular refinery ; it’s a normal refinery with about 100 ,00 bpd capacity. It was owned by the BP , but it has been sold off now to the companies that want to bring it over from Turkey to install it here .”
Baru further explained that a similar plan to establish a brownfield refinery near the Warri refinery was also in the offing .
“There is another one of about the same size being looked at to be sited near the Warri refinery . But the one for Port Harcourt is at a more advanced stage . Our drive at the NNPC , as a leader in the industry , is to expand our local refining capacity and make Nigeria a global refining hub ,” he said .
The NNPC. in an apparent response to reports of a possible resort to “proceed of gas tariffs” as a new means of funding because of purported collapse of negotiation with Chinese lenders , said the contractor finance arrangement was still intact .
It said the Engineering Procurement Construction contractors and possible lenders were currently in Dubai to discuss the financing termsFOLLOW Tell A Friend about Jaiyeorie Advertise - jaiyenews@gmail.com ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
