  • NNPC published a Dangote gasoline ex-refinery price of $736/mt, based on spot from Sep. 13.
  • Dangote said that it expects to be able to produce 365k b/d (57m l/d) of gasoline at full capacity, more than enough to cover Nigerian demand of 33m l/d.
  • The refinery is still far from reaching full capacity and its crude feedstock supply was 185k b/d in August.
  • Dangote is also yet to complete its startup of its RFCC, holding back gasoline production capacity.
  • NNPC will begin supplying 385k b/d of crude oil to Dangote from Oct. 1.  In return, Dangote will supply an equivalent value of gasoline and diesel to the domestic market. Gasoline will be sold exclusively to NNPC.
