News Update

THE Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has denied reports claiming there was an explosion at the Warri refinery.

According to a statement by the NNPC Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, says the reports suggesting that an explosion had occurred at the refinery complex were false.

“NNPC Ltd. wishes to clarify that there was no explosion at the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC). Any reports suggesting otherwise are completely false.

On January 25, 2025, operations at WRPC Area 1 were intentionally curtailed to carry out necessary intervention works on select equipment, including field instruments that were impacting sustainable and steady operations.

“These intervention works are essential to ensure the production of on-specification finished and intermediate products, particularly Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and Kerosene (Kero).

The routine maintenance is progressing as planned, and Area 1 will be back in operation within the next few days. Despite ongoing interventions, over the past 11 days, AGO loading has been maintained at an average of eight trucks per day, with a sufficient supply available to sustain ongoing truck load-out operations.” the statement reads in part.
