  • Who owns the proposed oil refinery in Ghana?
  • The proposed oil refinery is owned by the Sentuo Group Limited, a private enterprise that has operated in Ghana since 2010 (SORL, 2020) and has therefore gained experience in application of the above regulations. SORL shall operate within the requirements of the above regulations in all the different activity phases of the oil refinery. vi.
  • Why is the proposed oil refinery project important for Ghana?
  • Overall, the proposed oil refinery project, represents for Ghana, a very important development opportunity because it is in line with the policies of the Government of Ghana, which aim to secure a reliable supply of high quality energy services for all sectors of the Ghanaian economy and also to become a major exporter of oil and power.
  • Does Ghana need a modern oil refinery?
  • The Tema Oil Refinery established in 1957 with a 45,000 barrel per day capacity, is still the only major oil refinery in Ghana. With a current national daily demand of 83,000 barrels, there is clearly the need for a modern refinery to fill this demand gap and also satisfy international markets.
  • What is the largest oil refinery in Ghana?
  • The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), established in 1957 with a 45,000 barrel per day capacity, is still the only major oil refinery in Ghana. Platon Gas Oil Limited, the first private functional oil refinery in Ghana, established in 2014, has a maximum capacity of about 6,000 barrels per day (SORL, 2019a).
  • What are Ghana's options for oil refineries?
  • On policies relating to such activities, it was also explained that the Ghana Government has two main options. The first is to do with the establishment of a Petroleum Hub in the Western Region where four oil refineries are expected to be constructed, each with a minimum capacity of 150,000 barrels per day of crude oil.
  • What is the minimum capacity for a new oil refinery in Ghana?
  • It was further indicated that the minimum capacity for a new oil refinery in Ghana, which should also be export oriented, is 100,000 barrels per day of crude oil. The EPL team was advised that SORL should formally inform the Ministry, which will then respond and inform it about the relevant government policies.
