Montego, a Nigerian energy servicing company, has announced its role as a key subcontractor in the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refining Company, marking a milestone by advancing local content and contributing to the venture.
It said in a statement on Thursday that Montego played a critical role in the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning of the refinery.
“This transformative effort, which has collectively achieved over 16 million manhours, including Montego’s outstanding contribution of nearly six million manhours, was all accomplished without a single Loss of Time Injury.
“This remarkable safety record underscores Montego’s commitment to operational excellence and world-class standards,” the statement stated.
Speaking on the achievement, Montego’s management commended the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited for its leadership and the Federal Government for its unwavering commitment to energy security.
The firm also expressed gratitude to the main contractor, Tecnimont, for trusting in its expertise and enabling seamless collaboration in achieving this milestone.
“As an indigenous company, we take immense pride in being part of this transformative project. Our contribution to achieving this milestone reflects Montego’s dedication to empowering production in Nigeria and enhancing the nation’s energy infrastructure,” a Montego representative remarked.
It asserted that the restoration of the refinery to full functionality is a monumental step toward Nigeria’s energy independence, with the facility now delivering vital petroleum products such as Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), Automotive Gas Oil (diesel), and Household Kerosene to the market.
It noted that this achievement underscores Montego’s alignment with the government’s sustainable development goals and the vital role of indigenous companies in nation-building.
“Montego continues to champion excellence, innovation, and sustainability in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector,” it added.
