Masters Energy City Gas Distribution Unit
This business unit is aimed at meeting up with the logistic challenges of directly reaching out to the final consumers in the supply chain. Several LPG tanker trucks shall be purchased for this purpose.

The Bitumen Plant
The decision to build a bitumen plant is premised on the dearth supply of the product to the Nigerian market and the need to reduce construction and production costs in the Nigeria economy. The plant will be designed to accommodate 10,000mt of bitumen. Bitumen is used for road construction, the production of fuel oil and petrochemicals.

The plant will store cold bitumen and is connected to a hot oil unit that heats the bitumen before it is loaded onto trucks for transportation.The Plant will handle and receive bitumen at its own Jetty facility. The facility shall be available for through put and lease to third party. Modern technology would be deployed in the construction and engineering design of the plant while conforming to the highest API and HSE standards.

The Lubricant plant shall be designed to offer and provide a complete line of chemical service such as solvents and antifreezes, as well as fuel additives such as cold weather pour point enhancers, diesel additives and a full line of soaps and cleansers. It will also provide commercial fleet operators, manufacturing, construction, railroad, aviation, marine transportation, agricultural and fish processing companies with heavy duty motor oils and marine/ railroad engine oils; industrial lubricants such as hydraulic and machine oils, as well as refrigeration, turbine, white, food grade, heat transfer, and synthetic oils.

The Logistics Centre
Masters Energy City integrated logistic centre shall stand as a centre for the distribution of petroleum products to the eastern, south-south and northern part of the Country. It shall be a major centre for fuelling and refueling of Vessels for logistic operations.

The centre shall be available for private and government agencies’ maritime businesses which include: dry docking of vessels, bunkering and lightering of daughter and mother vessels. The Centre shall in the future provide integrated chain solutions to offshore drilling as well as offering production support services, offshore logistic support including onshore supply base, container hire, charter of marine vessels, supply of equipment for various offshore works and procurement management.

The finished products will be primarily evacuated to meet the demands of the domestic markets, and make the Masters Energy City storage depot, which is the largest privately owned in Africa self sufficient. This would ensure constant supply and distribution of petroleum products in the domestic market. The remaining products will be exported to service the international markets. Based on the current market demands, it is anticipated that about 40% of the finished products will be consumed locally while arrangements are made through our technical partners to export the balance. All the refined products will be evacuated from the refinery and finally moved to the storage facility (supply chain), neighbouring countries, the west and Europe.
