Dangote refinery cancels June maintenance plan for gasoline section
Nigeria's Dangote Oil Refinery has reportedly cancelled planned maintenance on its 204,000 barrels-per-day gasoline-producing unit for June.
Dangote Oil Refinery canceled planned June maintenance after conducting necessary work during an unplanned shutdown.
The refinery commenced production of diesel, naphtha, jet fuel, and gasoline in phases since January last year.
Economists forecast the refinery's operations may significantly disrupt European-Africa gasoline trade valued at $17 billion annually.
Nigeria's Dangote Oil Refinery has reportedly cancelled planned maintenance on its 204,000 barrels-per-day gasoline-producing unit for June, having carried out the necessary work during an unplanned shutdown from April 7 to May 11, according to industry tracker IIR.
Dangote Refinery had originally scheduled a 30-day maintenance shutdown in June for its gasoline-producing Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) unit.
The refinery has since pushed back on reports of the unit being under unplanned repair, stating that such claims are not entirely accurate.
According to data from shipping analytics firm Kpler, during the unplanned outage, the refinery ramped up exports of residual products such as straight run fuel oil, while shipments of finished fuels like jet fuel and gasoil declined.
Dangote refinery
The 650,000-barrel-per-day refinery, built by Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, began producing diesel, naphtha, and jet fuel in January last year, followed by petrol production in September.
The refinery aims to compete with European suppliers, though it has faced challenges in securing enough crude locally.
According to the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Dangote's oil push in Nigeria is already starting to disrupt the European oil market.
