Executive Summary
This feasibility study evaluates the viability of establishing a 100,000BPD crude oil refinery in Nigeria, with a specific focus on the implications of the recent removal of the PMS subsidy on the project's feasibility.
Background and Market Analysis:
Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, currently imports a significant portion of its refined petroleum products due to the limited refining capacity within the country. The removal of the PMS subsidy, which had long been a burden on the government's budget, has created a new market dynamic by aligning domestic fuel prices with global market rates. This change is expected to attract investments in the refining sector and enhance the competitiveness of locally refined products.
Technical and Operational Considerations:
The proposed refinery will be designed to process a variety of crude oil grades, including Nigeria's light and medium sweet crudes. It will incorporate state-of-the-art technologies to maximize efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and produce a range of refined products, including PMS, diesel, aviation fuel, and petrochemical feedstocks. The refinery will be strategically located in the NIGER DELTA to leverage existing infrastructure and ensure seamless transportation of raw materials and finished products.
Financial Analysis and Economic Impact:
With the removal of the PMS subsidy, the refinery's profitability is expected to improve substantially, as the project will no longer be constrained by regulated pricing mechanisms. This study provides detailed financial analysis, including capital expenditure estimates, operating costs, revenue projections, and return on investment calculations. Additionally, this report assesses the potential economic benefits to Nigeria, such as job creation, increased tax revenue, and reduced reliance on imported refined products.
Environmental and Social Considerations:
This feasibility report addresses the environmental and social implications of the refinery project. It outlines strategies for minimizing the carbon footprint, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, and implementing sustainable practices. Furthermore, this study explores the potential for community engagement, local workforce development, and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
