The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) said in a statement that the refinery, being promoted by Pillar Oil Limited, Omsa Limited and Astek Limited, will process 7,000 barrels per stream day of crude oil when completed.

The modular refinery, expected to come on stream in the fourth quarter of this year, DPR said 7,000bpsd of crude, equivalent to 350,000 tonnes of crude oil annually, would come from Pillar facility in Kwale.
