Exclusive: Warri Refinery Produces Diesel and Kerosene, Not Petrol

In an exclusive report, it has been revealed that Nigeria's Warri Refinery is currently producing only diesel and kerosene, with petrol production suspended. According to industry insiders, two out of the refinery's three production lines are operational, focusing on these two products due to technical and economic constraints.

This development comes amidst increasing demand for petrol in Nigeria, which continues to rely heavily on imports to meet domestic consumption. Experts have raised concerns about the refinery's limited output, citing it as a reflection of broader challenges in Nigeria's downstream oil sector, including aging infrastructure, insufficient investment, and operational inefficiencies.

The Nigerian government has been under pressure to revitalize its refineries to reduce dependence on imports and stabilize the domestic market. The current situation at the Warri Refinery underscores the urgency of implementing comprehensive reforms to enhance local refining capacity and ensure a consistent supply of petroleum products.

Stakeholders have called for increased transparency and efficiency in refinery operations, alongside investments in modernizing facilities. With Nigeria's vast crude oil reserves, the country has the potential to become self-sufficient in refined petroleum products, provided the right policies and strategies are adopted.
