Kimbe, the capital of West New Britain province in Papua New Guinea, is a vibrant town and the largest settlement on the island. It also holds the distinction of being the third largest port in the country and the fastest growing city in the South Pacific. Convenient air transportation is provided by Hoskins Airport, serving as a gateway to the town.

NBPOL operates several oil mills and a refinery, supporting the local economy. Additionally, NBPOL operates a cattle station to further contribute to the region’s agricultural sector. Employees of the company enjoy not only salaries but also perks such as free electricity, water, TV, and housing.
