  • Why is South Africa reopening its oil refinery?
  • A shortage of oil refineries across sub-Saharan Africa coupled with soaring crude prices because of the war in Ukraine has left countries dangerously short of fuel supplies, disrupting airlines and causing queues at filling stations. The refinery restart will provide some relief to South Africa, which is a net fuel importer.
  • Will Glencore reopen its Cape Town oil refinery?
  • Global commodities trader Glencore will restart its Cape Town oil refinery in the fourth quarter this year, more than two years after a deadly explosion shuttered the plant, Chief Executive Gary Nagle said during an earnings call on Thursday. The 100 000 bl/d refinery is run by Astron Energy, which is majority owned by Switzerland-based Glencore.
  • Why is Milnerton a major oil refinery in South Africa?
  • Their Milnerton refinery in Cape Town, the only crude oil refinery in the south-west of SA, supports several thousand direct and indirect jobs and is a significant contributor in ensuring security of supply to SA. With a daily processing capacity of 100 000 barrels of crude oil, their refinery produces petrol, diesel, jet fuel and LPG.
  • Why is SAPREF reopening a SA oil refinery?
  • The commitment comes as Sapref becomes the latest refinery in SA to halt operations. Glencore’s Astron Energy will this year reopen the Cape Town oil refinery amid a "strong commercial case" to bring the operation back online.
