  • What does Bentiu refinery do in South Sudan?
  • In South Sudan, the refinery at Bentiu finished construction and began commercial operations in 2021. The refinery at Bentiu can produce diesel, gasoline, and heavy fuel oil from domestic crude oil, enabling the country to meet some of its consumption needs and raising the possibility of exporting petroleum products regionally.
  • Where is crude oil produced in Sudan and South Sudan?
  • Most of the crude oil in Sudan and South Sudan is produced in the Muglad Basin and Melut Basin. Sudan and South Sudan produce three different crude oil blends: Dar, Nile, and Fula. The Dar and Nile blends are the two main crude oil grades used for export and domestic consumption. The Dar blend is a heavy crude oil with a low sulfur content.
  • Who owns the oil industry in South Sudan?
  • Sudapet, the national oil company, holds minority stakes in each of the international consortia operating in the oil-producing blocks. In South Sudan, the administrative structure largely mirrors Sudan¡¯s. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining is responsible for managing South Sudan¡¯s petroleum sector.
  • Why did Sudan develop refinery capacity?
  • Sudan developed refinery capacity to extend its value chain. In 1996, CNPC and Sudanese Petroleum Corporation (SPC) jointly built the Khartoum Refinery Co. Ltd (KRC) to produce fuel products domestically. With the rapid growth of crude oil production, refinery capacity was expanded to 100,000 bpd in 2006.
  • How many oil refineries are in Sudan?
  • Sudan has three oil refineries and three topping plants (smaller, less complex refineries). However, most of these facilities have either been shut in or decommissioned; only the al-Jaili refinery, which is the country¡¯s largest refinery and is approximately 45 miles north of Khartoum, and the El-Obeid topping plant are currently operating.
  • When did the petroleum industry start in Sudan?
  • The petroleum industry in Sudan began in 1979, when the first commercial flow in the country occurred.
