The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has increased its purchase of Nigerian crude oil as the ongoing Iran war disrupts global oil markets and forces refiners and traders to rethink traditional supply routes.
The development is providing support for Nigerian crude grades while reinforcing the country’s push to process more of its oil domestically. It comes amid shipping and cargo delivery records that revealed a total of 1.83 million metric tonnes of crude oil from Nigerian production streams in May 2026.
The deliveries, made through the refinery’s offshore Single Point Mooring terminals, SPM-C1 and SPM-C2, involved 15 crude cargoes sourced from some of Nigeria’s biggest oil-producing assets.
The crude grades supplied to the facility included Qua Iboe, Bonny Light, Bonga, Forcados, Utapate, Okwori and Odudu.
The increased reliance on domestic feedstock underscores the growing role Nigerian crude is playing in sustaining operations at Africa’s largest refinery at a time of heightened uncertainty
