The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) says there was no explosion at the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) in Delta Delta State.
The NNPCL Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, made this known in a statement on Friday, February 7, 2025,
Soneye said operations at the WRPC Area One on January 25 were intentionally curtailed to carry out necessary intervention works on select equipment, including field instruments that were impacting sustainable and steady operations.
He stated: “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.
“NNPC Ltd. remains committed to ensuring uninterrupted product supply and appreciates the patience and cooperation of all stakeholders as it completes these essential maintenance activities.”
