The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), in its September 2026 State of the Midstream and Downstream Fact Sheet, has said the Dangote Petroleum Refinery produced 47.22 million litres of premium motor spirit (PMS) per day in September, with 28.5 million litres supplied to the domestic market and 15.47 million litres exported during the period under review.
The fact sheet revealed that total daily production was 47.22 million litres per day, while domestic receipts stood at 28.50 million litres.
For automotive gas oil (AGO), also known as diesel, the refinery’s production was 24.32 million litres per day, while domestic receipts were 8.14 million litres and exports stood at 15.91 million litres. For aviation turbine kerosene (ATK), also referred to as aviation fuel, production was 26.13 million litres per day, with exports of 23.25 million litres per day.
The NMDPRA said, “Petrol evacuation (domestic and export) ran 3.25 ml/d below production, raising closing stock. AGO and ATK exports outperformed domestic supplies. Petrol exports represented 35.2 per cent of refinery evacuation,” the NMDPRA said.
The report further revealed that the state-owned refineries, that is, the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries, did not produce during the period under review.
However, on modular refineries, the report said Waltersmith Refinery posted an average capacity utilisation of 62.25 per cent, with AGO production of 0.29 ml/d and AGO domestic supply of 0.31 ml/d; Edo Refinery posted an average capacity utilisation of 104.24 per cent, with AGO production of 0.09 ml/d and AGO domestic supply of 0.09 ml/d; while Aradel recorded 31.90 per cent utilisation, with AGO production of 0.14 ml/d, and supplied an average of 0.12 ml/d of AGO.
The report also said that OPAC posted an average capacity utilisation of 18.43 per cent, with AGO production of 0.14 ml/d and AGO domestic supply of 0.11 ml/d, adding that Duport was shut down.
“Modular refineries supplied 4.3 per cent of domestic AGO consumption in September. Aradel and OPAC operated below optimal capacity due to feedstock challenges and maintenance shutdowns,” the report stated.
