Refining Summit2026
Refining for Value
Linking upstream supply to downstream demand.
A defining
moment for
Nigeria's
energy future.
Nigeria is undergoing a historic refining renaissance. With the Dangote Petroleum Refinery operating at full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day — and expansion plans targeting 1.4 million bpd — the country is transitioning from decades of fuel import dependence toward self-sufficiency and regional export leadership.
Supported by a growing network of modular and indigenous refineries, Nigeria is unlocking new opportunities across the downstream value chain. Achieving full value requires one critical factor: seamless integration between upstream crude supply and downstream market demand.
The premier platform shaping Nigeria's downstream future.

- Policymakers and regulators
