  • How many oil refineries are in Sudan?
  • Sudan has three oil refineries and three topping plants (smaller, less complex refineries). However, most of these facilities have either been shut in or decommissioned; only the al-Jaili refinery, which is the country’s largest refinery and is approximately 45 miles north of Khartoum, and the El-Obeid topping plant are currently operating.‌
  • Where is Khartoum’s largest refinery?
  • However, most of these facilities have either been shut in or decommissioned; only the al-Jaili refinery, which is the country’s largest refinery and is approximately 45 miles north of Khartoum, and the El-Obeid topping plant are currently operating.‌
  • How can Sudan improve its oil sector?
  • Sudan’s oil sector suffers from years of underinvestment. The sector’s productive capacity could be boosted with the introduction of improved technology, staff capacity building, and modernization of existing physical plants.‌
  • Are there any refineries in Saudi Arabia?
  • In addition to the refineries at Al-Jayli and Port Sudan, there are also some smaller refineries. They include Al-Obeid, with a capacity of 15,000 b/d, Abu Jabrah, with a capacity of about 2,000 b/d, and a topping plant built by Concorp with a capacity of 5,000 b/d.‌
  • What is CNPC doing in Sudan?
  • Later, CNPC also built Port Sudan Refinery (currently out of service due to high cost of its modernization). In addition, Sudan has three other small refining plants, namely El-Obeid, Shajirah, Abu Gabra, but only El-Obeid is active with a capacity of 10,000 bpd of Nile blend, and produces gasoline, diesel and fuel oil for electricity generation.‌
  • Why are oil pipelines built in Sudan?
  • Oil pipelines were built to bring oil from the south to the northern port for export. Two pipelines are currently running from the oil fields in the south to the Bashayer Marine Terminal in Port of Sudan or to oil refineries in Khartoum.
