Dangote Petroleum Refinery sustained a strong nationwide push in petrol production and distribution between November 1 and 15, 2025, delivering a total of 438 million litres in just two weeks.

This was revealed in data exclusively obtained by Advisors Reports through a credible in-house source at the refinery.

That output level reinforced the company’s commitment to ending the perennial and artificial fuel scarcity often associated with the ember months.

Advisors Reports’ analysis of the figures shows that production during the first half of November fluctuated between 22 million and 45 million litres per day, averaging approximately 29 million litres daily.

The month opened with a sharp spike as the refinery produced 45 million litres on Saturday, November 1, a surge believed to be influenced by inventory buildup or strong early demand.

Production stabilized at 35 million litres per day from November 2 to 4 before dropping to 25 million litres on November 5.

Output declined further to 22 million litres on November 6 and 7, then rebounded to 32 million litres on November 8.

The refinery produced 28 million litres on November 9, followed by another dip to 22 million litres on November 10.

A steadier cluster emerged between November 11 and 13, with consistent production of 27 million litres daily.

The period ended on a stronger note as output rose to 28 million litres on November 14 and was sustained at that level on November 15.

In the same period, evacuation patterns reflected a rapidly strengthening distribution network.

Coastal dispatches, which initially averaged 3.8 million litres per day in the early days of the month, surged to 18 million litres per day by the second week, indicating improved marine logistics and wider regional penetration.

Road evacuation also expanded from 8.1 million litres per day to 13 million litres per day over the same timeframe, reinforcing the refinery’s ability to sustain multi-channel nationwide supply.

Product deliveries were recorded across major depots, including NNPC Apapa Lagos, Techno Oil Apapa Lagos, Taurus Koko in Delta State, Danmara in Warri, Masters in Port Harcourt, and Eco Marine in Calabar.

The operational uptick by the company was consistent with its 5.6 percent petrol price cut on 6 November 2025—from N877 to N828 per litre, with coastal prices dropping to N806,  undertaken independently of Federal Government’s 15 per cent import tariff suspension.

report indicates that the company’s production flow and evacuation patterns are expected to remain steady in the coming week, supported by the refinery’s assurance of uninterrupted operations.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Nigeria’s energy stability, noting that its investment—now exceeding $20 billion—reflects a strategic focus on national supply security rather than short-term policy fluctuations.

According to the company, it remains “steadfastly committed to Nigeria’s energy sector and unfazed by temporary policy shifts,” emphasizing that its priority is “to deliver reliable, high-quality, and competitively priced fuel to all Nigerians.”
