The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) recently conducted a successful assessment of the crude distillation column at the refinery.

The company is hopeful that the NMDPRA will allocate crude oil to the refinery through domestic crude supply obligations.
This will ensure a steady supply of raw materials for the refinery’s operations.
With the completion of the expansion project, ERPCL aims to contribute to Nigeria’s domestic refining capacity and reduce the country’s dependence on imported petroleum products.
