The Dangote Refinery and petrochemicals plant project is one of the largest facilities of its kind worldwide.
Project parameters
Input capacity: 650,000 bpd
Crude blends: Refinery may receive crude oil from almost anywhere, with a preference for Bonny Light. Cannot process heavy and waxy crudes such as Venezuelan, Ugandan or tar crude.
Output: Petrol, diesel, kerosene and Jet A-1
Output capacity: 10.4 million tonnes of petrol per year, 4.6 million tonnes of diesel per year and 4 million tonnes of Jet A-1 per year
Associated infrastructure
Vessels: capability of bringing in ultra-large vessels, they have a 45-metre draught. Five floating buoys which are then connected to the shoreline by offshore pipelines
Storage: 2.4 billion litres. 20 crude storage tanks, each with a capacity of 120 million litres
Pipeline: 1,100 km which will transport 3 bcf (84.96 mcm) of gas per day
Power: 570 MW. Daily consumption of energy is 300 MW per day. Refinery has a 400 MW power plant that is able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan DISCo. 50 MW recovered from the residue fluid catalytic cracking unit. 120 MW coming from the fertiliser plant.
Financials
Cost: USD 19 billion
Investments: A consortium of local and international banks led by the Standard Chartered Bank provided a USD 3.3 billion loan facility. NNPC has 20% equity at USD 3.8 billion, providing USD 1 billion cash, while the remaining USD 2.8 billion will be in crude supply.
Debts: USD 8.4 billion debt represents 75% of Dangote’s net worth at USD 11.1 billion
Market impact
Expected impact: The refinery will meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products and have a surplus of each of these products for export. Will create a market for USD 11 billion per year of Nigerian crude. Domestic demand for petroleum products is less than 400,000 litres per day, 60% of production at the refinery would be available for local consumption while the remaining would be for export.
Job creation: 4,000 direct and 145,000 indirect jobs
