Nigeria announced the partial resumption of operations at its Warri oil refinery after nearly a decade of inactivity. The 125,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery, shuttered in 2015 due to disrepair and crude shortages, is currently operating at 60% capacity, according to government officials.This marks a significant step in the government's ongoing efforts to revive its state-owned refineries, whose disfunction has plagued the nation, forcing Africa's largest oil producer to rely heavily on fuel imports.While the government aims to fully restore all four state-owned refineries (including the 110,000 bpd Kaduna plant and other units in the Niger Delta) this year, the Warri refinery's partial return follows the recent reactivation of the 60,000 bpd Port Harcourt refinery.

Nigeria's Warri Refinery Partially Resumes Operations After Decade-Long Shutdown

Earlier this year, a privately-owned 650,000 bpd refinerys, built by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, was opened in Lago, adding further capacity to the West African country's refining sector.
Nigeria announced the partial resumption of operations at its Warri
oil refinery after nearly a decade of inactivity. The 125,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery, shuttered in 2015 due to disrepair and crude shortages, is currently operating at 60% capacity, according to government officials.
This marks a significant step in the government's ongoing
efforts to revive its state-owned refineries, whose disfunction has plagued the nation, forcing Africa's largest oil producer to rely heavily on fuel imports.
"This plant is running. We have not completed 100%," said Mele Kyari, head of the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), confirming the partial restart during a recent tour of the plant.
While the government aims to fully restore all four state-owned refineries (including the 110,000 bpd Kaduna plant and other units in the Niger Delta) this year, the Warri refinery's partial return follows the recent reactivation of the 60,000 bpd Port Harcourt refinery.
