REFINING

The head of Nigeria’s Dangote refinery says it could begin operating at full capacity in 30 days Reuters reports.

  • It is not clear if the refinery actually intends to try and do so but recent tenders show the refinery is looking to diversify its crude supply after failing to supply itself domestically as intended.
  • Dangote has recently launched tenders looking for various grades from West Africa, Mediterranean, Brazil, Guyana and US for March 1-10 delivery.
