en.Wedoany.com Reported - David Bird, CEO of Nigeria's Dangote Refinery, stated that the refinery has a surplus of aviation fuel and can supply any region worldwide. The refinery has a daily capacity of 650,000 barrels.

Bird noted that the refinery is able to export its surplus because oil demand in Africa is lower than in other regions. Speaking at the S&P Global Energy and Gas Middle East Petroleum and Gas Conference in London, he said the company is regarded as a reliable, high-quality, and trustworthy supplier capable of selling products globally at competitive prices. Aviation fuel is one of the fuels most affected by the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a context that provides opportunities for refineries outside the Gulf region, such as Dangote, to supply the global market. Bird revealed that the refinery is currently operating at full capacity and plans to implement a project called "ruthless replica" to double its capacity.

Bird stated that the company will add 700,000 barrels of complex refining capacity by the end of 2028, adding that long-cycle products have been procured and construction contracts are currently being awarded. He added that the group will further increase refining capacity by 2.1 million barrels per day by building a new refinery in East Africa, which will help it become a major player in the flow of crude oil products and refined products.

Bird also said that since the Dangote Refinery began operations, Nigeria has transitioned from fuel shortages to fuel abundance.
