  • 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.
  • How many barrels of oil a day does Nigeria refine?
  • 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. However, the country still records scarcity of refined products as none of the refineries can boast of working above 60% of its design capacity.
  • 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.
  • How many refineries does Nigeria have?
  • Thus, the Nigeria government owns and operates four major refineries through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) namely, old and new Port-Harcourt Refining Company (OPHRC and NPHRC), Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (KRPC) and Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited (WRPC). ... ...
  • Does Nigeria have a potential for domestic refining of petroleum products?
  • It draws attention to the existing gaps in the supply of refined petroleum products in Nigeria and the West African region and it highlights the sizeable potential for domestic refining of petroleum products. Importantly, it identifies key drivers that will spur the growth of the refining sector in Nigeria.
  • Does Nigeria have a low refining capacity?
  • Though Nigeria has a total design refining capacity of 445,000 bopd (barrel of oil per day) expected from its conventional refineries, low refining output is recorded leading to scarcity of various-refined products within the country.
