Dangote oil refinery is to commence fuel production with the arrival of the first crude shipment to the facility later on Thursday.
A leading oil and gas source – S&P Global – said on Thursday that an OTIS tanker carrying 950,000 barrels of Nigeria’s Agbami crude began its voyage on December 6 to Lekki in Lagos State, the nearest land port to Dangote’s offshore crude receiving terminal.
It added that the arrival of the first crude shipment at the $19 billion refinery marks a significant milestone for Nigeria’s oil industry.
“The tanker is expected to arrive on December 7 around 8:00 p.m. This shipment marks the initiation of crude supplies for the refinery’s operations,” the report reads.
