Niger has commenced work on a significant oil refining project in partnership with the Canadian Zimar Group. Located in the Dosso region, the project will feature a petrochemical complex and a refinery, with construction guided by a comprehensive feasibility study.
The new refinery will boast a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day, significantly surpassing the current 20,000-barrel-per-day facility. This development is expected to bolster Niger’s oil sector and catalyze economic growth in the region.
