The downstream trade in Nigeria is properly established. NNPC has four refineries, two in Port Harcourt (PHRC), and one each in Kaduna (KRPC) and Warri (WRPC). The refineries have a combined installed capability of 445,000 bpd. A complete network of pipelines and depots strategically positioned all through Nigeria links these refineries.

The PHRC is made up of two refineries, located at Alesa Eleme close to Port Harcourt with a jetty (for product import and export). The jetty is located 7.5km away from the refinery advanced.
