A test-run of the refinery was carried out on December 21, 2023, to ascertain the capacity of the flares in the refining process.

Sources at the refinery told our correspondent that sandblasting of all the pipes that would connect the refinery to the crude oil tank farms would be completed within the week.

A source at the refinery who works in one of the contracting firms said many of the tank farms had been stocked with crude oil, awaiting evacuation through the pipes to the burning furnace.

“The old refinery, that is the fifth, was completed in December 2023 but there are other areas that needed to be completed because as at that time, they had not tested the flare line. When the minister visited the refinery recently, they tested the flare lines, that is the line that burns the gas.

“The flares were tested to ascertain its capacity. Sandblasting of the pipes that will connect the refinery to where they will get supply for crude oil is ongoing and will be completed this week. They are sandblasting the area,” he said.

Another source who did not want his name in print said all the mechanical aspects of the refinery had been completed and were awaiting evacuation of crude from the reservoirs.

“I can tell you that all the contractors at the site are working round the clock to ensure that the rehabilitation works are completed within the record time. But actual refining of crude oil has not started because the evacuation lines are not ready.

Although this comes after a December report which caused jubilation amongst Nigerians of the refinery finally rehabilitated and set for operation as it received thousands of barrels of crude oil as reported by media houses.
