\"Shutdown<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Refinery outages in Nigeria and other African countries are projected to ramp up gasoline demand and in turn brighten Asian and European markets\u2019 chances of earning bigger revenue, London-based market intelligence firm, S&P Global Platts<\/a> said Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven Africa\u2019s healthy appetite for gasoline, market participants expect Middle Eastern produces to shift their attention away from Asia and focus on Africa instead,\u201d the global market watchdog said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cargoes have been increasingly moving away from storage tanks in Africa to Asia and Europe because refineries in Nigeria, South Africa and Cameroun are shutting down for maintenance, enabling income that could have been generated locally to drift away to economies outside the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigeria\u2019s 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) Warri refinery and 110,000 bpd Kaduna refinery, South Africa\u2019s 100,000 bpd Astron Energy refinery and Cameroon\u2019s Limbe refinery are offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCargoes to Africa typically come from the Middle East or the Mediterranean given the geographical ease of movement. Even then, if cargoes move from the [Middle East] to Africa, it just means fewer cargoes moving from the [Middle East] to Asia,\u201d A Singapore-based source told S&P Platts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expanding demand from Africa will also boost sentiment in Europe and put Europe in a stronger position to deal with local demand worries following new movement curbs across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGasoline<\/a> cargoes are known to flow from European refineries to the Middle East or the Mediterranean, for blending to finished grades, and then onward to African countries like Nigeria and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Europe\u2019s summer holidays come to an end, weakening the demand outlook for gasoline and pushing the continent\u2019s producers to look to West Africa as their key outlet for gasoline, the increasing African appetite will provide an added boost to demand for Europe\u2019s gasoline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrol exports to Nigeria helped the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp trading area to draw down 5% of its fuel stocks between 10th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup> September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
