Refinery capacity problems Refinery capacity problems • Refineries have a total nameplate capacity of p 445,000 bopd – Insufficient to meet Nigeria’s demand of about 30 – 35 million litres per day even when fully 35 million litres per day even when fully operational – currently operating at between 20 to 30 percent currently operating at between 20 to 30 percent of capacity inspite of significant investments over the years the years

Refinery capacity problems (contd.) Refinery capacity problems (contd.) • Refinery business previously operated as state p y monopoly • Private sector operators were licensed in 2002 but very little progress but very little progress – All private licenses revoked in 2007 due to lack of progress – Amakpe refinery license revalidated • Capacity not likely to exceed 12,000 bopd in the short term 21/09/2009
