I just dey read they laugh there's difference btw a rig and refinery. That's the mistake they making. Even America with their shale oil have refineries.

Largest petroleum refineries in the United States
Rank Refinery Barrels/Day
1 Port Arthur Refinery 607,000
2 Galveston Bay Refinery 585,000
3 Baytown Refinery 560,500
4 Garyville Refinery 564,000

Environmental and health assessments risk as been taking and certified before lagos state will give dangote go ahead to build a refinery in lagos, and i can bet the means of crude transportation to the refinery will be by vessel not pipe. Which is one of the major problems in niger delta cos pipes are used mostly to move crudes and products to depots and the refineries.

Even if there will be health and enviromental risk it will be of minimal effect. Renfineries dont flare gas pls.

bayelsaowei:
I guess an environmental impact assessment must have been carried out to ensure the safety of both the environment and humans in that area.

It's well thought out actually. It is going to unfold in phases. There is a renewal of the 1970s petroleum pipelines network that will ensure streamlined nationwide distribution to tackle the challenges of distribution


Let's not forget Lagos Ibadan expressway once functional will be freer than now.

Planned cargo rail services and heavy..


See. Let me tell you guys the truth

Dangote isn't producing for local production


That's the pure fact. Yes a good part will meet local need but the bulk of his market and his target is international market. This is where the Atlantic Ocean comes in


Kudos to Sailors in advance as much opportunities will begin to open to them


Also, Nigeria brokered an agreement with the European Union to construct a supply pipeline from Nigeria directly to Europe. Indeed his project is massive, highly beneficial to the country. And beyond. I wish him well

I see the country benefitting from it massively

I also like to postulate that he will be the richest man in the world because of this refinery within ten years of operation.

ayandee:
nice perspective. But what do you think of the advent of electric vehicles especially in the developed world. Don't you think this will affect the profitability of the refinery at some point in the future?

Damage by Pirates. On August 27, 2012, the West African Gas Pipeline was damaged when pirates who had tried to board an oil tanker in an attempt to get away from the pursuing Togolese Navy, severely damaged the pipeline with their anchor.

Na English and latent greed go kee Yoruba people. Do you know that almost everything produced in the petrochem train is poisonous? The best would have been up close to Ondo and Edo state. You can be stupid to say liquid cannot spilt, it will ofcourse, the question is containing it's spread. Anyway, when you guys see the environmental issues and banks start leaving Lagos for Ibadan you will be the same fellow that would claim you never supported it.

I have seen as almost everyone in Lagos denied voting for Buhari in 2015 because the sai Baba project failed. Buhari did not die , so they are ashamed and secretly angry that he refused to die like Yardua. Same way the will deny all the so called research on this and that.

Lagos is not a good site but dangote wanted it so he can get the deepest port in West Africa and he has got it without you guys knowing. 36feet of dredge. After Una go say Hausa be mumu. Who come mumu pass ?

Yujiz:
Interesting discuss going on here....
I really do hope the refineries uses those heat absorbers/recyclers for the benefit of Lagos residents....
Also dangote wudnt wan2 cross d safety line especially with the climate change/global warming campaign goin on internationally......

sulaak:


Forget the pipeline to Europe, that will never happen with all the insecurity in the Sahel, Europe will never allow their energy supply to depend on an erratic country like Nigeria, insecurity and vandalism will destroy any long pipeline.


In the 1990s Nigeria and Ghana built a $1 billion gas pipeline from Port Harcourt to Ghana

Hashabiah:
You are right. The pollution in lagos will not only harm the air, but it will also harm the environment in terms of crude waste disposal. I just hope that the government will be able to make laws that will enable better management of pollution in that state

Plus the very many tanker trucks that would be needed to evacuate petroleum products.Your guess is as good as mine.

BlueSparks:




Good point.


We are now in an experimental stage in human life on earth which predicts heavy uncertainty about the future.


Let me explain. Exactly about 12 weeks ago Elon Musk posted a challenge to give 1 Million dollars to any individual across the world with the best sustainable carbon capture scientific design. Why?

It's simply because he understands that heavy and medium productive industries and facilities can't power their engines around the use of electric engines.


Engines of virtually everything on the world was and is designed to function at heavy power in its internal core that the power from solar or electric in electric car design systems for example can't power. Which means we won't technically do away with crude oil unless we have a completely new form of energy, that's relatively available, affordable and can meet industrial and machine needs.

ayandee:
thanks. This means Dangote has done its feasibility study well before launching out.

Elsueno:
No matter how fancy or advanced it is, it will surely create pollution. but that is for the people living in the vicinity of the refinery.



Off topic, I remember the ashaka cement plant , Gombe state, that place generates extreme heat, u will even feel it in faraway bajoga when the winds blow.

BlueSparks:




I'm not from these states but I say it anytime anyday


The best location for this projects are



1. Ondo State


2. Edo State


3. Akwa Ibom


4. Cross River


5. Niger/Bauchi/Jigawa etc.

But Ondo and Edo are central to me. It serve the entire purpose of the refinery. Everything


If Lagos, I would have said Badagry, but you know already Badagry is a disaster. But Badagry because it's also close to crude oil source


If we say these things people from a part would call us names. Let's just keep hush my brother.

quickly:



The best place would have been Apapa inside Wharf port but Dan gote don destroy all the road already and no land. Also the train network starts from there.

British built lines from Apapa to Kano

BlueSparks:



I just used it as a reference point.

I understand the scope of the heat from a refinery, many Lagosians or SW have never experienced it. I stay on this stand point with a 98% on my stance that most Southend have not experienced the heat wave refineries generate


They should go and ask people in Bayelsa, Kwale, PortHarcourt. Those ones will give then a decent accurate perspective on the subject matter.


When it gets so hot at nights, people go into streams to Bury themselves at night cause the heat is scorching and killing. This one I know first hand, I come from communities with refineries. And all of those oil and gas installations. So when I see people rushing to go buy lands saying a gold rush will occur. I feel have hey considered the cons? Cause when these monies comes, it brings in irreversible immune degenerative sickness with it which the money will be spent on back again


So what's the point?

Btycoon:





You are right my brother I can't stay indoor by day time even had to sleep at night as you are going to be sweating profusely like a goat wey see knife lol. Kwale na for strong people

Btycoon:
No be lie and no be easy thing everyday na struggle. I stayed Utagba uno area

dododawa1:
Not Lagos but EKO ijebu side

BlueSparks:



Your wahala. Let me be plz
