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.
Subject to successful completion of the integrity check, Tecnimont and TNL, in collaboration with an unidentified partner, also will execute the EPC for the project’s second phase, Maire Tecnimont said.
