Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Bentiu Refinery could export refined petroleum products to the East African region by August of this year, according to the refinery\u2019s owner SNP Group.<\/p>\n

NSP is a joint venture between South Sudan\u2019s Nile Petroleum Corporation and Russia\u2019s Safinat.<\/p>\n

Located in Unity State, the refinery has faced several challenges in becoming operational, including flooding, COVID-19 and technical failures.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The refinery] is operational and in good shape. We have been providing products to Sudan. With the current situation in our neighbouring country, we are looking to the East African region. We have already been contacted by a number of companies in the region, as well as the Congo,\u201d said David Galla, Vice President of SNP Group, at the South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy August or September, the product will be ready to be shipped across the region,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This milestone would be significant for South Sudan, who despite having the third-largest oil reserves in sub-Saharan Africa, has suffered from limited refining capacity to date and imports the majority of its local refined oil demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe viability of these plans is supported by the high quality of production from the refinery, of which \u201c70% has close to zero sulfur content. This is very rare,\u201d noted Galla.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that SNP Group is also seeking to build an internal market for its low-sulfur, heavy fuel oil, which could be used to generate power, stimulate industry and reduce local costs of power consumption.<\/p>\n

The energy event in Juba is organised by Energy Capital & Power in partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum, South Sudan to unite the country\u2019s energy stakeholders with global investors to discuss opportunities within the burgeoning industry.<\/p>\n
