尼日利亚计划在未来两年内成为汽油净出口国

据烃加工新闻9月2日消息称，尼日利亚石油业监管机构周二表示，随着该国炼油厂项目的投产，该国的目标是在未来两年内成为汽油和其他石油产品的净出口国。

该国石油资源部(DPR)表示，全国正在建设5家炼油厂，另有7家正在计划中，这将扭转尼日利亚对进口的依赖。

DPR首席执行官萨基·奥瓦卢（Sarki Auwalu）在一份声明中称，预计27家模块化炼油厂的日产量将达37.5万桶。

他表示，政府的产能为45万桶/天，但没有透露这些项目何时完工。

奥瓦卢说，DPR的目标是将石油储量扩大到400亿桶，天然气储量扩大到210万亿立方英尺，但他没有提供相应的数据。

奥瓦卢称，该国能源部的目标是将石油产量从目前的240万桶/天提高到300万桶/天，并降低生产成本。

Nigeria aims to be net exporter of petrol over next two years

Nigeria aims to become a net exporter of gasoline and other petroleum products over the next two years as oil refinery projects in the West African country come onstream, the industry regulator said on Tuesday.

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) said five refineries are being built across the country and another seven are planned, which would reverse Nigeria’s dependence on imports.

A combined capacity of 375,000 barrels per day (bpd) is expected from 27 modular refineries, DPR Chief Executive Sarki Auwalu said in a statement.

The government has a 450,000 bpd capacity, he said, without saying when the projects will be completed.

The DPR aims to expand oil reserves to 40 billion barrels and gas reserves to 210 trillion cubic feet, Auwalu said, without providing a comparative figure.

Auwalu said the department would aim to grow oil production from its current 2.4 million bpd capacity to 3 million bpd production capacity and cut production costs.
