Description

The quantity of gasoline consumed is more than twice the quantity of gasoil imports and it is a very useful source of energy that has practically no alternative in its usage as a source of energy for vehicles of all types.

It is estimated that the ratio of vehicles that are powered by gasoline to gasoil is 7:3(70% of the total number of vehicles in Nigeria use gasoline) while the other 30% are used by some few buses, luxurious buses, lorries, tankers and agricultural heavy machinery.

When we also examine the use of generating sets which are used to generate electricity for both domestic and industrial use such as barbing salons, cyber cafes, restaurants and many other small scale businesses, we will see that almost all of them are powered by the small sets called I pass my neighbor unlike the big organizations that are powered by the big sets and such small gen sets are all powered by petrol/gasoline.Of all the refined petroleum products, gasoline also known as petrol in Nigeria is the most important as the effect of its unavailability spells disaster.

Nigeria being an oil producing economy produces very good grades of crude oil and the most notable being the sweet crude bonny light crude oil through a lot of joint venture agreements with most of the major oil exploration and producing companies in the country. Large volumes of crude are transported to the various refineries to undergo the process of distillation to yield various important components of which gasoline is one of them. A lot of new state of the art refineries today are able to recycle many other reflux components from the refinery pools to increase the volumes of gasoline that is produced.

Three are various grades of pool and they vary from region to region such as the European Union and North America. For every ten vessels that berth to discharge refined oil at all the harbors including New York about six of them are laden with gasoline.

Due to the poor state of the refineries in the country, the total combined quantity produced is so minimal that it will not be able to serve up to ten out of the thirty six states in the country. As a result of this, the NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) conjunction with the PPMC (petroleum products marketing company) had to partner with Depot owners, so that they can ensure steady supply of gasoline into the country.

Gasoline is very important petroleum products and just like Kerosene and its importation is regulated by the NNPC.
