Dangote Petroleum Refinery owned by Africas richest man Aliko Dangote, has received its second crude shipment from Ghana, marking another step in its effort to lean more on West African supply as it prepares for maintenance work. The latest cargo, carrying Ghanas Sankofa grade, arrived in November and comes as the refinery sharply reduces purchases from Europe.
Data from Kpler shows crude deliveries to the plant averaged about 380,000 barrels a day between September and November30 percent lower than volumes recorded during the JulyAugust peak. Most of Novembers receipts were Nigerian grades, including Bonny Light, Amenam, Forcados, Utapate and Qua Iboe, with Sankofa as the only non-Nigerian component.
