  • Can Nigeria refine its own crude oil?
  • It was ¡°shameful¡±, Dangote said, that Nigeria, a major oil producer for more than 50 years, could not refine its own crude in anything like sufficient quantity. Amaka Anku, head of the Africa practice at political risk consultancy the Eurasia Group, said the refinery was ¡°a massive, complicated undertaking¡±.
  • What is the Dangote Refinery?
  • The Dangote Refinery is an oil refinery owned by Dangote Group that was inaugurated on 22 May 2023 in Lekki, Nigeria. When fully operational, it is expected to have the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day, making it the largest single-train refinery in the world. The investment is over US$19 billion.
  • How many barrels of crude will Nigeria produce a day?
  • The delivery of the first one million barrels of crude will be followed by five million more, which should then allow the plant to begin producing fuel. When fully operational, the $19bn (£15bn) facility in Nigeria's commercial hub, Lagos, is predicted to produce about 650,000 barrels per day.
  • What is Nigeria's daily oil production?
  • Nigeria produces about 1.4mn barrels of oil a day, well short of its Opec quota of 1.8mn barrels.
  • Will Dangote Refinery start producing kerosene?
  • If Dangote Group can secure sufficient crude oil and the Dangote Refinery works as expected, it could start producing diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel as soon as next month. However, the success of these plans is not guaranteed.
  • Will Dangote Refinery be a big step in energy self-sufficiency?
  • For years, the oil-rich nation has not been able to refine the product. Importing refined oil has imposed some extra costs on the country. It is not clear when the mammoth Dangote refinery will start working but once running, it will be a big step in reaching energy self-sufficiency.
