Dangote refinery's petrol unit expected to be offline for at least two weeks: Reuters

The petrol producing unit at Nigeria's 650,000 barrel-per-day Dangote refinery has been taken offline due to catalyst leaks and other issues, with repairs expected to take at least two weeks, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The refinery's 204,000 bpd Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU) has been offline since around August 29, industry monitor IIR Energy said in a note on Tuesday.

The sources requested anonymity to discuss confidential information.

Dangote did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
