Dangote refinery will start supply of petrol in the fourth quarter of this year rather than the next month being stated by the company.
This is according to projection by African energy expert at the Standard and Poor’s’ Global Commodities Insights, Kelly Norways.
Norways who made the projection at the S&P podcast titled “Exploring West Africa’s oil product flows in a changing refining landscape” pointed out that the Dangote refinery will significantly reduce energy imports across the West African sub-region putting the figure for petrol as much as 290,000 barrels daily from 2024 and 2026.
“In reality, when we see that start scale up is still subject to debate. Dangote has recently been espousing some punchy timelines. They have most recently been saying that they are looking to produce gasoline by May. But in reality, our analyst expect that would be something like the fourth quarter of this year in a more realistic timeline,” she stated.
