  • When did the SAPREF refinery open?
  • The Sapref refinery was commissioned (began operating) in 1964 in the port city of Durban. It contributed 35% of South Africa’s refinery capacity and refined 180,000 barrels of imported crude oil per day. It was South Africa’s biggest refinery, until it was temporarily closed in 2022 after floods damaged the plant. It never reopened.
  • Who will build Africa's Oil Refinery?
  • The construction of the refinery will be undertaken by a joint venture comprising Korean-based, Samsung Engineering with a 45% stake and Spanish-based, Técnicas Reunidas with 55%. Key gas and oil refinery projects are to be launched through 2025 to improve Africa's refining capacity and reduce imports.
  • Does South Africa need a new oil refinery?
  • The country's Central Energy Fund is continuing to engage with Saudi Aramco on building a new oil refinery in Richards Bay. The minister said pre-feasibility studies are being carried out and that he hopes to hear a positive outcome from the Saudi Aramco evaluation. "South Africa needs a new crude oil refinery," he said.
  • What is the Natref Refinery at Sasolburg?
  • The Natref refinery at Sasolburg was commissioned in 1971 and has been at the cutting edge of refining technology since its inception. Situated inland, the refinery's market for heavy fuel oil was quite limited. As a result, it was designed to get the most out of crude oil and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
