5. REFINERY FEEDSTOCK & PRODUCT SLATE • Mostly locally sourced crude oil – Bonny Light, Escravos Light and Forcados Blend. • Allocated about 300,000 bpd of crude oil at import parity price • Refineries product Slates:- Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), Dual Purpose Kerosine (DPK), High Pour Fuel Oil (HPFO), Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO), Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), Bitumen, Base Oil, Parafin Wax and Sulphur.

9. REFINERY UTILIZATION / PERFORMANCE. • Basic Objective:- To refine crude oil to meet local demand and export the excess. • Pre-199, recorded above average capacity utilization • Post 1997, poor capacity utilization - between 22.29% and 49% for period 1997 – 2002 • High ratio of imported fuels • Currently supply about 25% of the 30 million litres of PMS daily local consumption • Most of the refined gasoline is leaded • Low capacity utilization caused by: poor funding, equipment obsolescence, inadequate maintenance and poor management

16. CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS • Privatisation of Refinery Industry • License already issued to some prospective private refinery investors • Existing state-owned refineries already slated for privatisation through the nation’s Bureau for Public Enterprises • Government, through the Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) under a leading adviser, Credit Sussie First Boston, New York, has offered for sale 51% of each of the refineries’ shares to core investors, while the remaining 49% shares will be sold to the Nigerian public and refinery staff

17. CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS Cont’d. • Refurbishment of existing state-owned refineries to boost capacity utilization to 60% of local fuel demand latest June, 2004 before their final privatisation • One of the licensed private refinery investors, we learnt, has begun construction process

18. CONCLUSION Sector reform in the Refinery Industry is: • To encourage private initiative, investment, ownership and management • To ensure sustainable efficiency and deepened growth in the downstream sector of the industry • To foster human capital development and competency • To ensure global competitiveness through technological advancement and proficient management • To dismantle the state initiated monopoly via Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and open up the space for healthy local competition

19. CONCLUSION Cont’d. • Government involvement in the refinery industry and downstream sector of the oil industry generally, is expected to be limited to policy formulation and fiscal matters • Non-discriminatory / open process to state-owned facilities and infrastructures I.e. pipeline network system, strategic storage depots before their privatisation is expected • Open access to local crude oil / crude oil importation for refinning is also expected • On going developments in the Retail Marketing Sector of the downstream industry.

20. CONCLUSION Cont’d • Government’s resolve to privatise and deregulate the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry could be the needed elixir for harnessing and exploiting the vast potentials of this great nation with with ever expanding markets. • Attainment of sustainable efficiency will, no doubt, infect other sectors positively for as long as petroleum products remain relevant to industrial and economic growth.
