Under the new regulations, all oil companies operating within Nigeria’s borders are obligated to allocate a portion of their crude oil production to domestic refiners.

These refiners, unable to secure their own supplies locally, will benefit from this directive, ensuring a steady stream of crude for their operations.

Only after meeting these domestic supply commitments can producers proceed with exporting crude oil, as stipulated by the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission.

This bold move signifies a significant shift in Nigeria’s energy landscape, potentially positioning the new Dangote Refinery to source a larger share of its crude oil locally. By fostering a symbiotic relationship between local producers and domestic refineries, Nigeria aims to strengthen its energy security and reduce its dependence on foreign imports, paving the way for a more sustainable and self-reliant future in the oil sector.
