Refinery news roundup: Some refineries in Africa remain offline
In South Africa, both the Engen and Cape Town refineries remain offline, whereas Zambia’s Indeni is not expected to restart after a maintenance until later this year.
Overall refining output in Africa remains low as many refineries remain closed or are operating intermittently, according to Africa-focused oil consultancy CITAC.
In South Africa alone, refinery output fell 28% last year as all refineries were closed in April and May due to the lockdown.
In April, South Africa’s Engen said it will be proceeding with the conversion of its Durban refinery into a terminal. Astron Energy’s Cape Town will remain closed until 2022, after an incident in July 2020, S&P Global Platts data reported earlier.

ONGOING MAINTENANCE
New and revised entries
** Ghana’s sole oil refinery, the Tema facility, has come back online after being shut in for a few weeks due to technical issues, a source close to the matter said March 22. “The refinery has resumed processing after days of some maintenance to correct some few issues,” the source said. The refinery went offline in late July, after having run through its reserves of crude. It then restarted in early January only to shut down again a month later. The CDU currently only has one furnace, which means the refinery can only operate at around 30,000 b/d.

REFINERY NEWS ROUNDUP: Lower refinery runs in Africa | Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide


REFINERY NEWS ROUNDUP: Lower refinery runs in Africa
Refinery runs in Africa are expected to decline in January, partly on limited demand recovery and partly on extended outages in South Africa, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics.
The Engen refinery in Durban — the second largest in the country — was shut following a fire and explosion on Dec. 4, while the Cape Town refinery has been closed since July.
Engen has previously said it was “considering several options” for the refinery, although no decision has been made. The company said it remained “fully committed to operating the Engen refinery in a safe and reliable manner.”
