NNPC’s subsidiary, Port Harcourt Refining Co. Ltd. (PHRC), contracted subsidiaries of Maire Tecnimont SPA to provide services as part of the first leg of a long-planned rehabilitation project at the Port Harcourt refining complex. The complex includes a 60,000-bpd hydroskimming refinery and a 150,000 bpd full-conversion refinery.

The Maire Tecnimont SPA subsidiaries, Tecnimont SPA and Tecnimont Nigeria Ltd. (TNL), will carry out a complete integrity check and equipment inspections of the complex under the $50-million contract, Maire Tecnimont said.

Tecnimont and TNL’s scope of work under the Phase 1 Rehabilitation program will involve a six-month assessment at site, including relevant engineering and planning activities in preparation for the second phase of the refinery modernization project, which will entail a full rehabilitation of the complex aimed at restoring the refining capacity to a minimum 90% of capacity utilization according to the company.
