Refiners seek crude certainty, infrastructure as Nigeria targets refining expansion
The Guardian Nigeria News reports: Oil refiners have called for a transparent domestic crude market, predictable commercial terms and increased investment in pipelines, terminals and other infrastructure as Nigeria’s expanding refining industry prepares for crude demand of more than 1.5 million barrels per day. The Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG) and Dangote Group said the competitiveness of Nigeria’s refining industry would depend not only on installed capacity but also on access to suitable crude at commercially workable prices and efficient evacuation infrastructure.
