Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has increased its crude oil processing capacity to 700,000 barrels per day (bpd), surpassing its official nameplate capacity of 650,000 bpd.
The achievement was confirmed during a performance test conducted by the refinery’s process licensors and represents a major milestone in the facility’s operational growth.
It further strengthens the refinery’s position as the world’s largest single-train petroleum refinery.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Lagos, Head of Corporate Communications, Anthony Chiejina, said the increased capacity highlights the refinery’s strong engineering design and operational efficiency.
