Specialties
This department manages our specialty businesses in aviation, lubricants, chemicals, Insecticide, LPG, and bitumen.
1. Air FO
Air FO's involvement in aircraft refuelling and defuelling operations dates back to 1959 when it operated as Air BP.
Today, Air FO provides prompt and efficient refuelling services for airlines directly using trained staffers that operate the facility or indirectly by the joint fuelling consortium at major airports across the country.
We also offer bulk aviation fuel delivery services to some aircraft operators who in turn carry out their fuelling.
Forte Oil wholly owns Aviation Fuel storage facility in Ikeja, Lagos, and jointly operates other storage facilities at major airports in Kano, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
2. Lubricants
Forte Ol Plc manufactures a wide range of high quality BP branded lubricants under license, at its 50,000 metric tonnes capacity modern blending plant at Apapa, Lagos.
Our automotive and industrial lubricant grades are formulated in the British Petroleum’s {BP’s} tradition using the highest quality base oils and carefully selected advanced additive packages to meet engine manufactures’ stringent requirements of improved fuel economy, more engine power, long drain intervals and environment friendliness.
Today, our two automotive engine oils, Visco 2000 and Super V, are the company’s pride and have become Nigeria’s favourite engine oils and the toast of motorists.
This tradition of quality has earned us the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 certification by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) for both our Lubricants and Aviation sales businesses.
3. Forte Oil Chemicals
The company sources high quality chemical products, classed under industrial, organic and petro-chemicals, which it sells to local industries.
