Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and 6th.in the world. Nigeria has refineries where crude oil is produced.These refineries are subsidiaries of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation[NNPC].
The functional refineries at a time in Nigeria were 4 in number. One was merged to another hence we have 3 in existence currently in Nigeria. On in the north and two in the Niger deltan region.
The refineries are:
1] Port harcourt refinery the largest in Nigeria with production capacity of 210,000 barrels per day. It was established in 1989. It produces liquified petroleum gas[LPG], premium motor spirit [PMS],Dual purpose kerosine [DKP],Automative gas oil [AGO],Low Pour Fuel Oil [LPFO],and High Pour Fuel Oil [HPFO].This refinery is operated by the Port Harcourt company [PHRC] limited.
2] Warri refinery is located in Warri, Delta State and was established in 1978 with a capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. It is the second largest in Nigeria.
3] Kaduna refinery is located in Kaduna, Kaduna state and a capacity of 100,000barrels per day also.
It is worthy of note to mention that the Dagote refinery which is under construction will soon make the number of refineries 4 in Nigeria because up till date Nigeria still largely depends on importation of fuel.
Thanks be to God almighty.

GAS PROCESSING IN NIGERIA [OML 53, located onshore in the north eastern Niger Delta]
OML 53
OML 53 covers an area of approximately 1,585km2 and is located onshore in the north eastern NigerDelta. The Jisike oil field, located in the northwestern area of the block, is currently the only producing field on OML 53.
Existing infrastructure at Jisike comprises flow-lines, phase one separation facilities and a flow station with a design capacity of 12,000 bopd and 8 MMscfd. Oil production is sent for further processing at the nearby Izombe facilities on OML 124 from where it is exported via pipeline to the Brass oil terminal. The block also contains the large undeveloped Ohaji South gas and condensate field, the development of which will be coordinated with the SPDC operated Assa North field on adjacent OML 21, together referred to as the ANOH project which is set to be one of the largest greenfield gas condensate development projects in Nigeria to date. The expectation is that future gas production from the ANOH project will supply the domestic market, for which significant work on commercialisation terms and development concepts has been undertaken. There is also shallow oil development potential at Ohaji South that could be pursued as a separate standalone project in the near term. Prior to initiating development of the ANOH project, Seplat expects to focus efforts on increasing oil production at the Jisike field and development of the shallow oil reservoirs in Ohaji South. Pursuant to the Joint Operating Model, Seplat is designated operator of OML 53.
Seplat and Nigeria State Oil Company to Raise $700 Million for Gas Plant
Seplat Petroleum Development Co. and Nigeria’s state oil company will raise $700 million for a joint gas project scheduled to start production next year as the government steps up plans to reduce the country’s reliance on oil.
The project, known as Assa North-Ohaji South, is one of seven to boost gas production and infrastructure development in the West African nation, the continent’s biggest producer of crude. ANOH Gas Processing Co., which is owned by Seplat and the Nigerian Gas Co., a unit of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., will develop, build and operate the plant in southeastern Imo State.
Seplat and Nigerian Gas will provide 60 percent of the funds as equity, while ANOH will source the balance as debt, Seplat Chief Executive Officer Austin Avuru said in an interview Wednesday in the commercial capital, Lagos. “Both parties already have each contributed $100 million in equity,” Avuru said. “There will be another equity injection and at the back end of it will be debt.’’
The plant, which will process wet gas from the unitized upstream fields at OML 53 and OML 21, has an initial capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet per day. It’s scheduled to begin production by the last quarter of 2020 and the first supply is targeted in 2021, Avuru said.
Nigeria’s government is encouraging investments in gas infrastructure to improve supplies to power companies and diversify the economy away from oil, which currently accounts for the bulk of revenue.
ANOH will target local customers and has the capacity to double production “depending on domestic demand and the availability of feeds including third-party gas,” Avuru said.
‘Relative Stability’
Lagos-based Seplat, meanwhile, will more than double capital spending to $200 million this year from 2018 as it seeks to take advantage of “relative stability’’ in the Niger Delta region, he said. “If Niger Delta is stable, the rest is easy for us to handle.’’
The firm, which is listed on the London and Nigerian exchanges, will spend about 70 percent of its capital budget on drilling after a three-year lull, Avuru said. The rest will be for “facilities and gas development.”
Seplat is targeting output of 49,000 to 52,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day this year and “will probably start seeing a gradual increase in production’’ from next year on sustained expenditure and stability in the delta, he said.
The energy company’s shares rose 0.6 percent to 123 pence as of 11 a.m. in London to extend gains this year to 7.9 percent. It traded unchanged at 590 naira in Lagos.
NNPC, Total, Shell, NAOC take FID on 4.3trn ANOH gas fields, 2019.[ Assa North-Ohaji South Fields]
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, and its Joint Venture partners – Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, Total Exploration and Production Nigeria, TEPNG, and Nigeria Agip Oil Company, NAOC – have reached Final Investment Decision, FID, on the development of the 4.3 trillion cubic feet Assa North/Ohaji South Fields, ANOH, in Oil Mining Lease, OML, 21.
Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr Maikanti Baru In a statement in Abuja, yesterday, the NNPC disclosed that the project, when fully developed, would add about 600 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) to the national gas grid with capacity to expand to 1.2 billion cubic feet per day, while another 197 million stock barrel (mmstb) of condensate will also be realized. According to the statement, Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, described the ANOH project as a critical gas supply hub in Nigeria’s burgeoning gas-infrastructure network designed to provide the linkage between the Eastern, Western and Northern gas pipeline system. Baru who was represented at the event by NNPC Chief Operating Officer, Upstream, Mallam Bello Rabiu, said the successful completion of the multi-faceted project which is an integral part of the Seven-Critical Gas Development Projects, would be dependent on a number of critical success factors and enablers which include synergy and team work between NNPC and all the key stakeholders. He commended stakeholders in the project for signing the FID on the ANOH Project after being on the drawing board for 14 years. He said the corporation and its JV partners have worked on all the issues and have developed a sustainable strategy to develop the considerable gas resources in Assa North-Ohaji South Fields. “Finally, I will like to conclude with immense compliments to the NNPC, Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Total Exploration and Production Nigeria (TEPNG) and Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC), project teams and other critical stakeholders as we enter into the next major phases – Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of this project”, he said. The NNPC boss said the corporation would continue to leverage on available expertise and capital from its global outreach to accelerate and deliver on first gas from the project between the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

In addition, he explained that the NNPC Project Management Teams are expected to strengthen oversight functions by ensuring prompt decision making and timely approvals.
Also speaking, Mr. Osagie Okunbor, Managing Director SPDC and Country Chair, Shell Companies in Nigeria, operators of the ANOH project, said Shell was committed to the successful implementation of the project. Osagie, who commended the resilience, diligence and enthusiasm of the project team, emphasized that the ANOH project would offer immeasurable opportunities for Nigerian firms to benefit from engineering, procurement and construction contracts. He also announced the inauguration of boards to administer the Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU) for the two clusters of the project to the tune of N1billion for development projects within the host communities for the next five years. On his part, Nicholas Terraz, Managing Director of TEPN, and Lorenzo Fiorillo, Managing Director, NAOC, also aligned their companies with the NNPC’s aspiration of ensuring timely completion of the project.
