THE SITE

Azikel Refinery Project is located in Obunagha, Gbarain, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The project is bounded by the River Nun on the South, Obunagha community on the North,Gbarain NIPP Power plant on the Northwest and the proposed Azikel Power Plant on the West and Gbarian-Ubie Shell Gas Gathering Facility on the East. The Azikel Refinery location affords it reliable access to feedstock supplies, because of its proximity of a distance of twenty meters from the Gbarian-Ubie Shell Facility from which it will get its feedstock requirements.To this end, Bonny Light Crude and condensate would be delivered by pipeline directly from the Shell Facility into the Azikel Refinery storage tanks. The Refinery is also located in proximity to infrastructure and roads that include the East-West Road and the Isaac Adako Boro Expressway, which connect the Refinery to Yenagoa and Port Harcourt and the rest of the country
