  • 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.
  • How many oil refineries are left in South Africa?
  • South Africa has only one oil refinery left in operation and even that could close within a year following the string of cancelled projects and accidents on out-dated facilities. Sapref Refinery 's 10 February announcement that it was suspending its 170,000-bpd operations in Durban came as little surprise to the South African downstream sector.
  • Could BP and Shell sell South Africa's oil refineries?
  • It was also possible that those refineries currently associated with international oil majors that had signalled a desire to withdraw from refining, such as BP and Shell, could seek to sell their South African refining assets, he said. BP and Shell currently own the 165 000 bbl/d Sapref refinery in Durban, which is South Africa ¡¯s largest.
  • How will South Africa's oil refinery sector change in 5 years?
  • South Africa ¡¯s oil refinery sector is expected to undergo significant changes in the coming five years, with Engen having already indicated that it will repurpose its refinery site in Durban as a fuel importation terminal and with global and domestic shifts likely to place significant pressure on the others.
  • Will Saudi Aramco build a new oil refinery in South Africa?
  • Early last year, Saudi Aramco confirmed it was looking to build a new oil refinery and petrochemical plant in South Africa as part of the Kingdom's $10 billion investment there. Meanwhile it emerged that South Africa's Engen is "considering several options with regards to the Engen refinery" although no decision has been made.
  • When to plant cotton in South Africa?
  • The crop is well adapted to the warmer northern and western parts of South Africa. In North West, cotton needs to be planted in the last two weeks of October and no later than the first week of November. Summer temperatures in excess of 25°C are ideal for cotton production, but preferably not warmer than 38°C.
