據今日油價網站10月7日消息 尼日利亞國家石油公司（NNPC）集團總經理梅爾凱里表示，尼日利亞是非洲最大的原油生產國和出口國，預計2023年前結束原油換燃料交易，屆時，隨著國家煉油廠的改造和新建煉油廠的建設，尼日利亞煉油能力將增加。

據尼日利亞《今日報》報道，尼日利亞煉油廠需要整修，將在2023年前進行全面整修，并在本周舉行的虛擬煉油商大會上援引凱里的話報道稱，尼日利亞億萬富翁阿利科·丹格特的私人煉油廠預計屆時也將投入運營。

凱里表示：“我不認為在不久的將來，隨著我們的進步，并過渡到更多的本地生產，這一過程不會得到延長。我們的計劃是在2023年前全部交付。”凱里指的是原油換產品掉期交易。

自2016年以來，尼日利亞與主要石油貿易商和國際石油公司開展所謂的原油直接銷售和直接購買石油產品（DSDP）計劃，旨在確保非洲最大的原油生產商無法在國內加工的燃料。

在本周的同一次會議上，凱里表示：“尼日利亞下游行業前景看好，市場前景誘人，市場廣闊，各煉油廠項目的原油蒸餾能力大幅增加，分銷網絡的和天然氣的使用也得到進一步改善。”

Nigeria Looks To Ramp Up Its Oil Refining Capacity

Nigeria, Africa’s largest crude oil producer and exporter, expects to end its crude-for-fuel swap deals by 2023 when its refining capacity is set to increase with state refineries revamped and a new refinery built, Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), said.

Nigerian refineries, which are in need of refurbishment, will be fully revamped and running by 2023, Nigeria’s ThisDay outlet reported, quoting Kyari as speaking at a virtual refiners’ conference this week. The private refinery of Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is also expected to be operational by then, Kyari said.

“I don’t see an extension of that process in the near future as we progress and transit into more production locally. Our plan is to deliver all of them by 2023,” NNPC’s top executive said, referring to the crude-for-product swap deals.

Since 2016, Nigeria has been running the so-called Direct Sale of Crude Oil and Direct Purchase of Petroleum Products (DSDP) program with major oil traders and international oil companies, aimed at ensuring fuel which Africa’s biggest crude oil producer cannot process domestically.

At the same conference this week, NNPC’s Kyari said that “The outlook for Nigeria's downstream sector looks bright with attractive market conditions, large market, significant crude distillation capacity additions from various refinery projects, improvements of the distribution network & the use of natural gas.”
