  • 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%.
  • 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.
  • Will modular refineries produce the lightest hydrocarbons in Nigeria?
  • Another critical assumption is that the modular refineries yield will be limited to fuel oils and diesel as the lightest hydrocarbon produced. (approximately 6 million litres daily). The modular refineries bridge a supply gap of 53,000 bpd (approximately 8.5 million litres daily) in Nigeria. 90% utilization. These ramp up to 70%,
  • 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.
  • What are petroleum refining processes?
  • Petroleum refining processes are chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in crude oil refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products such as liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel,diesel oil, and fuel oils .
  • Are Nigerian crude oil types effective feedstocks for conventional modular refinery operations?
  • Therefore, this research study focused on analyzing and classifying Nigerian crude oil types as effective feedstocks for conventional modular refinery operations by performing crude oil assay analysis on available Nigerian crude oil types using Aspen Hysys to determine their properties, compositions, and recovery volume.
