  • How many crude oil refineries are there in Nigeria?
  • The country has three major crude oil refineries (Port Harcourt I and II, Warri, and Kaduna) and has a total crude oil distillation capacity of 423,750 b/d, according to the Oil & Gas Journal.15 All three refineries are run by the state-owned national oil company (NOC), NNPC.
  • 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.
  • Are there opportunities for refining petroleum products in Nigeria?
  • In spite of the challenges, opportunities exist for interested investors to go into refining of petroleum products in Nigeria. Even if all the existing refineries were operating at maximum capacity, there still exists a robust demand for petroleum products in Nigeria.
  • 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 type of refinery was the first one built in Nigeria?
  • The first refinery in the country near Port Harcourt was a simple hydro-skimming plant. It was completed and commissioned in 1965 with a capacity of 38,000 barrels per day (bpsd). The Shell-BP Refinery was a joint project between Shell-BP and the Federal Government of Nigeria, which acquired 50% shareholding under a participatory agreement.
  • 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%,
