Nigeria-based Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest crude oil refinery, is set to be officially commissioned on Monday, May 22, 2023, the group has announced.
The refinery, situated on a 6,180 acres (2,500 hectares) site at the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lekki, Lagos State, and currently the world’s largest single-train refinery, will produce as much as 650,000 barrels of crude per day.
Its pipeline infrastructure is the largest anywhere in the world, with 1,100 kilometres to handle three billion Standard Cubic Feet per day (Scf/d) of gas due to the large capacity of the refinery.
The group made the official commissioning ceremony in a letter inviting some industry players.
The refinery is expected to help Nigeria to address its fuel issues.
Currently, local reports suggest that the refinery is going through pre-inauguration tests.
