Why Nigeria’s Bonny Light Matters

Bonny Light remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’s petroleum sector, with proven demand across refineries due to:

• Its low sulphur content (approx. 0.14%).
• API gravity of 32.9°, making it a high-yield crude.
• Its role as one of West Africa’s most tradable grades, consistently attractive to global refiners.
