  • What is oil refining in Morocco?
  • Source: Interregional Input-Output Table for Morocco, 2013. The oil refining sector is based on the treatment of crude oil through processes to obtain finished products, such as gasoline, 50 ppm diesel, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, and intermediate products (naphtha, distillate) meeting Moroccan standards.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Where is Morocco's sole oil refinery?
  • Morocco's sole oil refinery in Mohammedia, near Casablanca, on June 22, 2019. Three years after it was liquidated for racking up billions of euros worth of debt, Morocco's sole oil refinery and one-time economic flagship is struggling to attract a buyer and survive. ¡ª AFP via Getty Images)
