Business Plan Oil Refinery in Nigeria

 

Executive Summary

Nigeria is the top ten country in the world with highest oil reserve and the second in Africa after Libya. With 37 billion bbls proven oil reserve and current consumption level, the s abundant oil resources can be utilized for about 237 years excluding future possible oil discoveries in the country to support the nation growth.

Leading global oil and gas producers are operating in Nigeria including Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Total and Agip. Unfortunately, the country is heavily relied on imported refined petroleum products. Total import of refined petroleum products  was amounted to USD 11.3 billion in 2021 or equal to about 436,000 bopd. These companies combine production are equal to about 95% of the country’s total oil production.

The three refineries: Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri are currently being revamped by the government to bring back the capacity to close to its nameplate capacity from current actual capacity of about only 30%.

Lack of infrastructure, uncertainties in regulations, and security concerns have led Nigeria to underutilize its refining capacities, thereby pushing the country to become a net importer of refined petroleum products. However, Nigeria is on the edge of altering refined products’ supply dynamics in the region with the help of the upcoming Dangote Refinery, and it is expected to become the regional refining hub in the coming years. Once completed, the country is planning to become the refinery hub in Africa. This, in turn, is expected to attract foreign players to tap into the country's downstream market, creating several opportunities in the future.

We have run preliminary economic analysis to understand the potential of refinery business in Nigeria with result is shown here. We think that there is high possibility that we can take some benefit from this opportunity.
