  • Does Nigeria need a petroleum refinery?
  • Abstract: 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 con-ventional refineries.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Why does Nigeria still import 80% of refined products?
  • Despite having a nameplate capacity that should meet domestic demand, Nigeria still imports over 80% of refined products to meet its current needs. Unlike the production of crude, the production of refined products has been suboptimal and Nigeria has consistently struggled to keep its refineries functioning optimally.
  • What is Nigeria's potential for refining?
  • Imports currently account for over 80% of Nigeria's refined product supply, creating a huge potential for local refining. The West African market also holds significant potential as refineries such as SIR (Ivory Coast), SOGARA (Gabon) and SAR (Senegal) cannot meet current demand for refined products in the region, estimated at 39 billion litres.
