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
Bitumen Upgrading Explained | Oil Sands Magazine
Bitumen produced from the oil sands would be too heavy and too sour for a simple refinery. In order for bitumen to be sold to a simple refinery, it must first be upgraded into a lighter crude oil. More complex refineries, commonly referred to as high-conversion refineries, have the ability to process heavier feedstock, with higher
The production of petroleum from the tar sands in Alberta has become one of the most pressing environmental and human rights issues in Canada. The tar sands (also known as oil sands) is the largest industrial project on earth, yet few people are aware of the rapid pace of growth and its impact on our environment, economy, and society.
Products from the Oil Sands: Dilbit, Synbit and Synthetic
Heavy bitumen from the oil sands must therefore be upgraded into a light crude oil, removing most of the heavy fractions and sulphur, before it can be sold to a simple refinery. Upgraded bitumen is termed synthetic crude oil (SCO), but is chemically identical to light conventional crude.
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.
Exclusive Interview: Why Tar Sands Oil Is More Polluting
With conventional oil, you can put it right into a pipeline, or you can process it and it can go into a pipeline that goes to a refinery. Bitumen from the oil sands is too viscous to flow, so you
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
Alberta, Canada's oil sands is the world's most destructive
The Syncrude oil sands plant is seen north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. The oil sands give Alberta the third largest reserves in the world, but extracting the oil is energy-intensive and destructive
The Gabonese Gold Refinery (ROG), the first gold processing plant in Gabon, has come on stream, as the oil producing country pushes for a more diversified economy. With a refining capacity of 7 to 10 tonnes of gold per year, the plant is a joint venture between the state-owned Equatorial Mining Company (SEM) and Alpha Centauri Mining (ACM), a
