Nigeria: 10 things about the Dangote Refinery,

  • When did Nigeria start refining oil?
  • Refining in Nigeria began a decade after oil was discovered in the oil-rich Niger Delta region in the 1950s. Initially starting out in 1965 with a refining capacity of 38,000 barrels per day (bpd), Nigeria's refining capacity has grown over the years and is considered the 4th largest in Africa.
  • Does Nigeria need oil refineries?
  • Industrially, unprocessed crude oil has little or no value. Hence, there is need for a country to have operational petroleum refineries. According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation annual bulletin, it is expected to have a total refining capacity of 445,000 barrels of oil per day from Nigeria’s four conventional refineries.
  • Why is Nigeria struggling with oil refinement?
  • Despite its large reserves of crude oil and a combined in-country refining capacity of 445,000 B/D from four state-owned refineries, Nigeria has been plagued with challenges in local refinement. These refineries have operated grossly below installed capacity for decades, operating at a capacity hovering between 15 and 25%.
  • What kind of fuel does Nigerian oil refinery produce?
  • The refinery will initially produce diesel and aviation fuel and later progress to premium motor spirit. Though designed to process Nigerian crude, the refinery can also process most other African crude grades as well as Middle Eastern Arab Light and even US Light Tight crudes.
