  • Which is the biggest commissioned modular refinery in Nigeria?
  • The Waltersmith refinery located in Imo state is the biggest commissioned modular refinery in Nigeria. The African refinery project is being developed in phases by Waltersmith Refining and Petrochemical Company, a subsidiary of Nigeria-based Waltersmith Petromen Oil.
  • Why is modular refinery development necessary in Nigeria?
  • The urgent necessity for modular refinery development in Nigeria is due to a major problem in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry, resulting from age-long negligence and inadequate maintenance culture of the existing four domestic conventional refineries.
  • Are modular refinery investors deterred from investing in Nigeria?
  • As a result of these issues, many potential Modular Refinery Investors may be deterred from making investments into the Nigerian market. Damaged pipelines, shallow channels and the absence of an effective logistics backbone are some major infrastructural impediments that have constrained growth of refineries in Nigeria.
  • Are modular refineries a viable alternative to conventional refineries?
  • Establishing conventional refineries is highly capital-intensive, and they take a significant amount of time to build and commission. The modular refinery option is a less capital-intensive alternative. The complete paper discusses the promise of modular refineries and their potential effects on the availability of petroleum products in Nigeria.
  • Can modular refineries achieve self-sufficiency in 2021?
  • The study analyzes the financial aspects of a 10,000 bopd capacity modular refinery in relation to the number of stimulated modular refineries needed to achieve self-sufficiency in the downstream sub-sector of the oil industry by 2021.
  • 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.
