The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the state oil corporation which was established on April 1, 1977. In addition to its exploration activities, the Corporation was given powers and operational interests in refining, petrochemicals and products transportation as well as marketing. Between 1978 and 1989, NNPC constructed refineries in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt and took over the 35,000-barrel Shell Refinery established in Port Harcourt in 1965.
In 1988, the NNPC was commercialised into Strategic Business Units, covering the entire spectrum of oil industry operations: exploration and production, gas development, refining, distribution, petrochemicals, engineering, and commercial investments, namely:
- Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC)
- Nigerian Gas Company (NGC)
- Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC)
- Integrated Data Services Limited (IDSL)
- National Engineering and Technical Company Limited (NETCO)
- Hydrocarbon Services Nigeria Limited (HYSON)
- Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (WRPC)
- Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (KRPC)
- Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited (PHRC)

In 2016, following the repositioning efforts of the Corporation to become a global energy company, the PPMC and NGC were restructured to give birth to new commercial entities as follows:
- Nigerian Gas and Marketing Company (NGMC)
- Nigerian Gas Processing and Transmission Company (NGPTC)
