Nigeria's Dangote refinery blames IOCs for crude supply shortages

摘要

Nigeria's 650,000 b/d Dangote refinery has increasingly struggled to source crude feedstock from international oil companies (IOCs), its leadership said June 24, in a sign of emerging frictions with suppliers. The new refinery, which promises to overhaul West Africa's refining sector, has sourced crude from both Nigeria's state- owned NNPC and IOCs since starting production in January, but claims to have met growing resistance to supply its operations.
