Dangote Refinery ramps up to 700,000 Barrels per day, strengthening Africa's energy landscape
The upgrade underscores the refinery’s ability to process extra feedstock and support larger exports, with S&P Global Commodities saying it became the top jet fuel exporter in April.
- On Thursday, Dangote Petroleum Refinery confirmed it increased crude processing capacity to 700,000 bpd following a performance test by process licensors. This milestone demonstrates the facility's ability to process additional feedstock while optimizing performance across production units.
- The facility surpassed its nameplate capacity of 650,000 bpd, marking a significant operational milestone for the refinery. Widely regarded as the world's largest single-train petroleum refining unit, it now demonstrates enhanced engineering capability.
- Nigeria has achieved fuel abundance since the refinery came online, exporting an estimated 57 million barrels of jet fuel between April 2024 and April 2026. Exports peaked at approximately 160,000 barrels per day during the review period.
- On Tuesday, CEO David Bird said the refinery is operating at full capacity while planning a "ruthless replication" strategy to expand output. The company aims to bring 700,000 barrels per day of fully complex refining capacity on stream by 2028.
- Dangote Industries Limited plans to double capacity to 1.4 million bpd within 30 months, with potential future expansion to 2.1 million bpd. These plans include establishing another refinery in East Africa to strengthen global market positioning.
