The Executive Vice President, Downstream, Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Adedapo Segun, has said the Port Harcourt Refinery is on course to produce petrol. He spoke in Lagos at the weekend. According to him, based on the projections for the refinery to deliver the products to the market, it would be unfair to say the NNPCL has not delivered, especially when it is considered that it is a brownfield refinery.  “We gave our projections based on data available. The Port Harcourt refinery, a brownfield refinery, achieved mechanical completion last December and by August, we fired up the burners, meaning the distillation process has started. So, the Port Harcourt refinery has started the distillation process, but yet to produce products to tank specification at the moment,” Segun said. He said the process at times is interrupted by other unforeseen developments, which invariably interferes with advancement in levels already attained and leading to a halt or restart of the process.
