Dangote Petroleum Refinery received a total of 1,834,890 metric tonnes of crude oil across 15 cargoes in May 2026 from Nigerian production streams, according to shipping and cargo delivery data reviewed by Petroleumprice.ng, highlighting sustained feedstock inflows into Africa’s largest refining facility.
The deliveries were sourced from major Nigerian crude grades, including Qua Iboe, Bonny, Bonga, Utapate, Okwori, Odudu and Forcados, and were discharged through the refinery’s offshore Single Point Mooring systems, SPM-C1 and SPM-C2, reflecting continuous marine operations throughout the month.
The cargoes were delivered through a series of scheduled vessel movements across May, with several ships making repeat calls at the refinery’s offshore terminals to lift multiple consignments. The structured delivery pattern points to steady crude availability and consistent operational throughput at the 650,000 barrels-per-day facility.
