Our Projects

OPAC Refineries is designed to produce according to the best international and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) standards (API, ASME, ASTM).

Our expansion plan which is at a design phase will allow us to produce Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Jet fuels, and also increase our production capacity to yield larger volumes, thereby enabling us to reach new markets.

Technical Information

Our modular refinery located in Umuseti, Delta State is the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa. It was designed and constructed by a world-class team of engineers and technicians with years of experience in refinery technology to meet stringent conditions and regulatory requirements.

The Oil Refinery Unit is a sealed system with air prevention, fitted with a fire defense system (FDS). This unit comprises four production lines with each line consisting of two blocks – heating block and a rectification block.

The residual gas from the refinery unit is channeled back into the system as fuel for the burner, making the unit resource-efficient.

The modular refinery maintains high safety standards with equipment, fittings, and connection pipelines with temperatures higher than 50°C thoroughly insulated.

Key technological equipment installed at our refinery includes;

• Crude Distillation Unit
• Heating furnaces
• Powerstation (diesel generators, UPS, distribution system)
• Control room
• Gas preparation unit
• Gas flare stack
• Pumping stations
• Pipelines
• Gantry
• Cooling water pool and cooling tower
• LPCO2 Fire fighting system
• Tank Farm (Crude oil and products storage facilities)

Midstream Operations

OPAC Refineries is a key player in the midstream sector of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria as one of the first and foremost modular refineries to be fully completed.

Our refinery is strategically situated onshore within Umuseti marginal field in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 56, Ndokwa West Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State Nigeria.

This presents us with a unique opportunity and grants us access to sweet light crude at significantly lower costs than our major competitors.

Our core activity is the Refining of Crude Oil into valuable petroleum products.
