February 12, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Dangote's Lekki refinery in Nigeria began a long-delayed test run on January 12, operating at 400,000 barrels per day (BBL/d). The test stopped on January 30 due to a crude supply shortage. The test run of the lone 650,000-BBL/d crude unit is expected to resume in late February. Commercial operations could begin as soon as March, according to IIR research.
