Niger's military leader, Abdourahamane Tiani, said on state television that Niger plans to start exporting the first batch of ** in January. The commercial phase of the export is expected to begin in January from the port of Cotonou, Benin, as quoted by Reuters.
Niger now wants to export the first barrel ** through a new pipeline project. The pipeline was launched in early November and connects the Agadem oil field in Niger with the port of Cotonou in Benin. Nigerien military leaders said that tanks in the port of Cotonou are currently being filled, and the filling is expected to be completed in January. After that, the commercialization phase should begin.
Niger wants to focus on refining at home for the local market, the leader said. Tiani was quoted by Reuters as saying: "Our desire is not to sell **. We want to build an oil refinery that processes Nigeria's ** on Nigerian soil. ”
Currently, Niger has a small refinery with a capacity of 20,000 barrels per day, and its output is mainly in the domestic market. (Compiled by Xiao Chen).
