Modular-mini refineries: Business opportunities in developing
Despite generally low return on investment, modular-mini refineries from simple diesel production units to more sophisticated refineries are increasingly becoming a choice of flexible and cost-effective supply for oil producers in remote regions, particularly in developing economies with reasonable to rich oil resources.
A mini refinery is defined as a refinery that produces less than 5,000 barrels of oil a day – however, this is a loosely agreed-upon definition. Mini refinery designs can vary, particularly if they are of a modular construction. Modular-mini refineries are intended to be easy-to-construct refineries that can be customised for consumer demands.
Gabon’s Downstream Industry Sees String of New Investments
But the cornerstone of Gabon’s downstream ecosystem is the Gabonese Refining Company (SOGARA), which was taken over by the government in 1973, having previously served as a refining hub for the entire West African region. SOGARA runs the country’s only refinery located in the oil and gas hub of Port Gentil.
The Sogara refinery became operational in 1967 and has an annual processing capacity of around 8.8 million barrels. How complex is it to refine Gabon’s crude oil? There are two difficulties when refining Gabon’s crude resources. The first concerns the design of the refinery. We do not possess the necessary equipment to crack the barrel’s
Advice on "proper" refinery design for a miniature refinery
Preheating, a heat exchanger to transfer waste heat from later in the process to the crude about to be processed. Crude pipe in one end and out the other. Liquid medium pipe comes out of the ground, in the top, and out the bottom into the ground. I haven't modeled a pumping station for the heat exchangers.
In the midst of all the above, Standard Petroleum Company has developed small-scale oil refinery plants, which have an innovative refining unit. Mini Modular Oil Refineries are easier to operate and maintain than traditional refineries and are generally installed close to fuel consumption centers, reducing fuel chain mediation and logistics costs.
Oil & Gas News (OGN)- Mini-refineries show that small is
Mini-refineries show that small is beautiful. Mon, 30 May 2016. The process skid of a mini refinery. Even in China, where past governments have sought to banish the so-called ‘tea pot’ refineries in favour of larger more sophisticated facilities operated by the country’s national oil companies (NOCs), the swing has now moved into reverse.
The refinery operates at 82% (17,300 bbl/d) of its 21,000 bbl/d capacity and has always processed 100% 28 API Mandji crude that comes by pipeline from the biggest oil production field in Gabon. The crude produces a high fuel oil yield, most of which is exported as Gabonese demand has always been lower than the refinery production capacity
Gabon's Sogara oil refinery shut due to post-election
Gabon's sole oil refinery in Port Gentil has been shut since last Wednesday because of violence following the disputed Aug. 27 presidential elections, a union official told Reuters on Monday.
July 27, 2022. Societe Gabonaise de Raffinage operates the Port Gentil I refinery, which is located in Ogooue Maritime, Gabon. It is a non integrated refinery owned by Gabonese Republic and others. The refinery, which started operations in 1967, has an NCI of 8.3. Key processes of the refinery. Crude Distillation Unit (mbd): 24. Reformer (mbd): 2.
