Top Ten: Oil Refineries in Africa by Capacity

  • Why are oil refineries closed in South Africa?
  • Refinery closures in South Africa are shots fired in the long running contestation between the oil refiners and the government. While South Africa has been preoccupied with rolling electricity blackouts, security of liquid fuels supply has been overlooked even though – by my calculations – by value of sales it is 60% larger than electricity sales.
  • What is the largest oil refinery in South Africa?
  • Operated by the Port Harcourt Refining Company – a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation – the refinery is currently the country’s largest operating refinery. South Africa’s SAPREF refinery, a 50:50 joint venture between BP and Shell, is the largest crude oil refinery in southern Africa, boasting 180,000 bpd capacity.
  • How will South Africa's oil refinery sector change in 5 years?
  • South Africa ’s oil refinery sector is expected to undergo significant changes in the coming five years, with Engen having already indicated that it will repurpose its refinery site in Durban as a fuel importation terminal and with global and domestic shifts likely to place significant pressure on the others.
  • Who owns SAPREF refinery in South Africa?
  • SHELL Downstream South Africa (SDSA) and bp Southern Africa (bpSA) have agreed to sell each of their 50% stakes in assets at the Sapref refinery precinct to state-owned energy company CEF as the government seeks to secure the nation’s energy security.
