2nd Crude Oil Supply Will Arrive In Three Weeks – Dangote Refinery

Dangote Oil Refining company has come out to say that its plant is awaiting the second shipment of barrels of crude in three weeks.

This is coming after it received its maiden one million barrels on Friday, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the company, the STASCO vessel sailed to the refinery’s single-point mooring, where it was discharged into the refinery’s crude oil from the Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited.

The company added that the development indicates that fuel production at the new $19 billion facility is finally set to start after years of delays.

Dangote said, “The next four cargoes will be supplied by the NNPC in two to three weeks and the final of the six cargoes will be supplied by ExxonMobil.

This supply will facilitate the initial run of the refinery as well as kick-start the production of diesel, aviation fuel, and LPG before subsequently progressing to the production of Premium Motor Spirit.

This latest development will play a pivotal role in alleviating the fuel supply challenges faced by Nigeria as well as the West African countries.”
