  • Why is crude canola oil refined?
  • Crude canola oil is refined in order to remove undesirable minor compounds that make this oil unusable in food products. However, refining can also cause the removal of desirable health-promoting minor components from the oil.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • How is canola oil produced?
  • The production of canola oil starts with the cultivation of canola plants, primarily Brassica napus and Brassica rapa. These plants thrive in temperate climates, requiring optimal soil conditions and adequate moisture levels. Farmers carefully monitor these conditions to ensure the best possible growth environment for the canola plants.
  • 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.
  • Who owns the oil industry in South Sudan?
  • Sudapet, the national oil company, holds minority stakes in each of the international consortia operating in the oil-producing blocks. In South Sudan, the administrative structure largely mirrors Sudan¡¯s. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining is responsible for managing South Sudan¡¯s petroleum sector.
