The global energy player will also be adopting new maintenance and compliance measures, as well as deploying cutting-edge technology solutions.

According to Mr. Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer (CCCO) of NNPC Ltd, these are just a few of the sustainable and profit-driven measures the firm is implementing.

He said the company is seeking a short- and long-term Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services contract for the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) and Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC).

On the key objectives of the O&M services for WRPC and KRPC, Soneye said: “One of the objectives is to ensure and guarantee steady and sustained refining production while adhering to the best maintenance and regulatory compliance ethics at the minimum cost of refining and production per barrel.”

On the tender procedure for the O&M services and how it will be conducted, the spokesman disclosed that “there will be a three (3) stage tender process, viz., expression of interest, technical, and commercial.”

He also disclosed that the O&M is expected “to improve on our refining process that guarantees quality through the application of the latest technology, including Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS), Warehousing Management System (WMS).”
