Nigeria’s NNPC offers Port Harcourt fuel oil in tender
Nov 20 (Reuters) -Nigerian state-owned oil firm NNPC Ltd has issued a tender to export a fuel oil cargo from its mothballed Port Harcourt oil refinery, the latest step towards resuming operations at the plant, an official said on Wednesday.
NNPC expects to finalise the tender for a single 15,000-ton fuel oil cargo on Thursday, loading in the first week of December, NNPC Trading’s managing director Lawal Sade told Reuters.
The tender comes after the plant began receiving crude oil for test runs in early 2024, as the refinery, which has a maximum crude processing capacity of 210,000 bpd, was shut down five years ago.
NNPC said it needs to evacuate the fuel oil from the Port Harcourt system following the test runs, Sade said, as efforts to revamp the plant progress.
