  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How did Sudan get crude oil?
  • With the government share of crude oils dropping to close to 40, 000 bpd, it had to seek crude oil from other sources, including purchases from foreign partners and converting payments of South Sudan under the Oil Agreement into crude oil transported in the Sudanese pipelines (14,000 bpd in 2019 was diverted to the refineries).
  • Why are oil pipelines built in Sudan?
  • Oil pipelines were built to bring oil from the south to the northern port for export. Two pipelines are currently running from the oil fields in the south to the Bashayer Marine Terminal in Port of Sudan or to oil refineries in Khartoum.
