  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How much oil does Sudan produce a day?
  • In 2021, its oil fields produced 59,000 barrels per day (bpd). The Sudan Oil Refinery has the capacity to refine 90-95,000 bpd. The Sudanese government also receives an in-kind royalty payment of 14,000 bpd from the government of South Sudan for oil pipeline transit rights to Port Sudan. Sudan¡¯s oil sector suffers from years of underinvestment.
  • Who owns oil in South Sudan?
  • South Sudan¡¯s national oil company, Nile Petroleum Corporation (Nilepet), was also involved in allocating licenses. In 2005 Sudan established the National Petroleum Commission to improve the development of the country¡¯s oil resources.
  • How can Sudan improve its oil sector?
  • Sudan¡¯s oil sector suffers from years of underinvestment. The sector¡¯s productive capacity could be boosted with the introduction of improved technology, staff capacity building, and modernization of existing physical plants.
  • Did Sudan import kerosene?
  • Sudan had to import both gas oil (used in diesel motors and for heating) and kerosene for domestic use, although a substantial quantity of other products refined by the plant, in excess of Sudan¡¯s own needs, continued to be exported.
