Niger’s Refinery Restarts

Sunday, October 4, 2015

CNPC’s Soraz oil refinery in Niger resumed production after being shut in for 45 days. The refinery was shut in due to a mechanical failure.

The refinery, a JV between CNPC and the Niger government, has a capacity of 20,000 bpd and processes oil from the West African country’s Agadem field that started production in 2011.

“Output has restarted at Soraz,” the refinery’s head of communication, Magagi Dada, told local television. “The refinery has had a technical shutdown since mid-August but the problem has been fixed.”
