The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has constructed a 150 million litres storage facility for the Port Harcourt Refining Company ahead of full operations of the plants.
NNPCL said the storage facility was constructed in Atlas Cove, adding that the company had signed Build, Operate and Transfer agreements for the rehabilitation of pipelines and storage facilities nationwide.
The Atlas Cove Jetty is a major institution of the NNPCL for receipt and distribution of petroleum products to the Western part of Nigeria and is located within the precincts of Tarkwa Bay in Lagos State.
NNPCL stated: “A major breakthrough unfolded with the mechanical completion of the Port Harcourt Refinery. As operations gradually pick up, efforts are on the way to ensure that the new Port Harcourt Refinery, Kaduna and Warri refineries follow suit.”
