Nigeria’s oil industry is undergoing a significant transformation as seven major oil marketers have officially registered with the Dangote Petroleum Refinery for the lifting and distribution of refined petroleum products. This development marks a crucial step forward for the $20 billion facility, set to produce 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) of refined products. Among the key players engaging with the refinery are 11 Plc, Conoil Plc, Ardova Plc, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, OVH Energy Marketing Limited, Total Nigeria Plc, and NNPC Retail.

The Registration Process: Members of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) confirmed their registration, signaling their readiness to commence the distribution of fuel produced by the Dangote Refinery once commercial terms are finalized. This proactive approach demonstrates the industry’s eagerness to integrate the refinery’s output into the national fuel supply chain.

Engagement from IPMAN and PETROAN: The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) are also actively engaging with the Dangote refinery. IPMAN is scheduled to meet with refinery management this week to discuss product loading terms, while PETROAN has been in ongoing discussions regarding product supply from the state-of-the-art facility.

Key Market Players: The seven major marketers poised to play a pivotal role in this transformative phase include 11 Plc, Conoil Plc, Ardova Plc, MRS Oil Nigeria Plc, OVH Energy Marketing Limited, Total Nigeria Plc, and NNPC Retail.

Production Milestones: In a recent announcement, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery revealed the commencement of production for Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) and JetA1 (aviation fuel). This marks a significant milestone for the refinery and positions it as a key player in meeting the nation’s growing demand for refined petroleum products.

As Nigeria’s oil industry embraces the dawn of a new era with the operationalization of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, the collaboration between major oil marketers and the facility is a testament to the industry’s resilience and adaptability. The successful integration of the refinery’s output into the national supply chain is anticipated to enhance energy security, stimulate economic growth, and establish Nigeria as a regional powerhouse in the oil and gas sector.
