  • Does South Africa need a new oil refinery?
  • The country's Central Energy Fund is continuing to engage with Saudi Aramco on building a new oil refinery in Richards Bay. The minister said pre-feasibility studies are being carried out and that he hopes to hear a positive outcome from the Saudi Aramco evaluation. "South Africa needs a new crude oil refinery," he said.
  • Is Natref a surviving oil refinery in South Africa?
  • Natref is the last surviving oil refinery in South Africa. Three others were closed in the past two years. These refinery closures and the possible permanent closure of the Natref refinery are shots fired in the long-running contestation between the oil refiners and the government, which has been trying to introduce cleaner fuels specifications.
  • Which is the largest refinery in South Africa?
  • Sapref is the largest refinery in southern Africa, based in Durban. (Photo: LinkdIn / Sapref) The closures of South Africa¡¯s small, old and inefficient refineries are economically painful in the short term. But they also offer the prospect of better outcomes if government acts sensibly.
  • 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 ¨C by my calculations ¨C by value of sales it is 60% larger than electricity sales.
  • Is south africa's'sub-scale' aging refinery fleet economically vulnerable?
  • South African National Energy Association (Sanea) board member Dave Wright, who worked for Engen for more than two decades, says South Africa ¡¯s ¡°sub-scale¡± and aging refinery fleet has become economically vulnerable in a context of changing demand, supply and environmental dynamics.
  • 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.
