The $19 billion Dangote Refinery is set to commence refining operations after receiving its sixth one million barrels of crude oil.
The latest delivery of Agbami crude oil via MT ALMI SUN will provide the refinery with the required stocks for test runs.
The refinery, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, is under construction in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, Nigeria. Once fully operational, it is expected to be Africa’s largest oil refinery and the world’s biggest single-train facility.
The initial run will produce diesel, aviation fuel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) before progressing to Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
The refinery is a significant development for Nigeria and the West African region, aiming to reduce dependence on fuel imports.
