  • 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 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.
  • 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 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.
  • Where did Chevron find oil in Sudan?
  • U.S. oil giant Chevron, as the first foreign company to invest in the oil sector in Sudan, conducted extensive onshore exploration activities from 1974 onward, mapping out the Muglad and Melut basins, with major discoveries at Bentiu (later renamed Unity), Heglig and Adar Yale oil fields.
  • 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.
