TUE, JAN 09 2024-theGBJournal|Dangote refinery could begin test runs before the week runs out, sources close to the mega refinery say.
The $18.5 billion eco-friendly refinery, also has confirmed receipt of last 1 million barrels of crude oil to the refinery, suggesting it is ready to bring the 650, 000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery to life, and aiming to reach full capacity refining by year-end.
