Currently, four modular refineries operating in Nigeria possess a total capacity of 32,000 barrels per day. Maher-Bonnett highlighted the increasing importance of modular refineries in Nigeria's petroleum products market, stating that the projected additions would account for more than two and a half times the combined capacity of the four modular refineries currently in operation.
