The Edo State government-backed Edo Modular refinery has ordered the supply of 150,000 barrels of crude to meet the demand of its growing clientele base, weeks after commencing production.
This was revealed in a statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media Projects to the Edo State Government, Crusoe Osagie, on Sunday.
The statement also said that the crude would be sourced from the Oza Oil Field, which is operated by Decklar Resources Inc and Millenium Oil and Gas Company Limited.
The Edo Refinery is a 6,000bpd capacity plant, which is being expanded to 21,000bpd. The facility with its feedstock can produce 500,000 litres of diesel, 300,000 litres of Naphtha and 200,000 litres of low-pour fuel oil, the statement said.
