MRO Energy Limited has officially received the License to Establish (LTE) from the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The approval marks a major step forward for the company in its efforts to build a 10,000 Barrels Per Stream Day (BPSD) modular refinery in Imode, Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State.
Anthony Sawyerr (FNSE), a well-established figure in the Oil & Gas industry and a C-Suite Executive at MRO Energy, expressed his excitement over the achievement. “We are pleased to announce this major milestone. This modular refinery, which is at the heart of our Project IMPACT, will not only boost local refining capacity but will also create jobs and stimulate economic development in the region,” Sawyerr said.
The new refinery is expected to play a vital role in enhancing Nigeria’s refining capacity, contributing to the country’s overall economic growth, and meeting the rising demand for refined products. The modular refinery project is a key part of MRO Energy’s ongoing commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
The project is also expected to have a substantial impact on the local economy, with job creation and infrastructure development providing opportunities for residents in the Delta State area. The modular refinery will bring the potential for increased economic activity and provide a stable and reliable source of refined oil products to the region.
MRO Energy Limited has expressed its appreciation to its dedicated team for their tireless work in achieving this significant milestone. The company’s leadership remains focused on delivering innovative energy solutions to meet the evolving needs of its stakeholders while driving sustainable growth in the Nigerian energy sector.
This development is seen as an important step toward Nigeria’s broader energy transition goals, as the country continues to expand its domestic refining capacity and reduce its reliance on imported refined products.
