Refining of Senegalese crude oil: Sar announces processing in 2022

In 2022, the African Refining Company (SAR) will be ready to refine Senegal's crude oil. An announcement by the company's CEO, Marième Ndoye Decraene, during a panel at the Msgbc oil, gas and power conference-exhibition: "Refining prospects in Senegal: Sar's ambitions in line with new African standards."

The African Refining Company (SAR) is currently implementing a technical and logistical transformation plan to adapt to the context of the discovery of oil and gas resources in Senegal and to meet its missions.

Currently, the SAR units are currently at a standstill until March-April 2022. This is to meet a regulatory requirement, but also in order to be able to process Senegalese crude oil as a priority.

The company will therefore take advantage of this period to create a connection between the new units under construction and the old units.

Marième Ndoye assures that upon "resumption, our capacities will be increased to 1,5 million tonnes and we aim to increase our capacity to 3,5 million tonnes."

Continuing her remarks, the Director maintains that "the company has a coverage rate of around 60% of the market, but which will evolve with a demand which will be increased to 3,8 million tonnes per year, in 2025. Evolving in this dynamic will allow us to respond to the market."

Ms. Ndoye added that "fuel oil production will be reduced to a minimum to adapt to the market, given Senelec's desire to switch its units to gas.

Therefore, with the Gas to Power project in Senegal, it will be necessary that: We adapt to the demand of Senelec, which mainly consumes the fuel that we put on the market, with Ipp which also aims to be in Gas to Power."

Already in 2022, Sar will be ready, according to the General Director, to use Senegalese crude oil, with specific attention to local content. And in this sense, Sar has a wide range of local partners to better adapt to the Senegalese context.

Ensuring 60% of market coverage, it plans to increase this market share to at least 80% in 2025. A good forecast for Senegal despite a turbulent global context.

"In 2022, we will be able to process Senegalese crude, but up to 75%. Today, the crude we use comes from Nigeria at 100%, but with the processing of crude to be optimal, we will have to armour our crude with Era crude, with a distribution rate of 75-25," said Ms. Ndoye.

Sar 2.0 by 2025 also involves the construction of a second distillation train with a capacity of 2 million tonnes per year, with a heating furnace, a distillation column and a set of other equipment, according to the Director's announcement.

It also adds the installation of a diesel desulfurization unit and announces the increase in the storage park already underway, which will be operational in 2022, as well as the construction of the cylinders.
