  • Where are Morocco's oil refineries located?
  • The second Moroccan refinery is located close to Rabat, with a processing capacity of around 30,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 190,000 m 3 of petroleum products (Jamea 2021 ). Another oil refinery is expected to be built in Nador West Med, in northern Morocco with a capacity of around 200,000 barrels per day (Kasraoui 2019).
  • Does Morocco need a refining industry?
  • Morocco imports all its energy inputs, from which a significant share are the refined oil and gas products. Besides boosting economic growth because of its interindustry relations, the refining industry would be an alternative for the supply of energy inputs, improving energy security in the country.
  • Why is Samir 1 a major oil refinery in Morocco?
  • Created in 1959, the Moroccan Refinery Samir 1 facilitated the production of diesel and encouraged domestic production. The refinery is located near the oil port of Mohammedia, in the most significant industrial fuel zone in Morocco. The establishment in this location was the result of social, economic, technical factors and restrictions.
  • Does Samir refinery closure affect the fuel oil market in Morocco?
  • The closing of Samir's Mohammedia refinery in August 2015 due to financial constraints has dramatically affected the fuel oil market in Morocco. In this paper, we assess the economic and environmental impacts of the disruption of Morocco's only refinery activities.
  • Where can liquid bulk be transported in Morocco?
  • The port of Mohammedia is one of the main entry points for liquid bulk in the Kingdom. Thanks to Marsa Maroc facilities, its large draught and piplines network, the port can handle large capacity vessels. An oil terminal with a large capacity of over 20 MT An extensive pipelines network to unload and transport liquid bulk
  • Why did Morocco start a refinery?
  • The refinery played a crucial role in meeting Morocco's domestic demand for petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. By producing these products locally, the country was less reliant on imported fuel, which helped to reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and increase energy security.
