- Khartoum (50/50 joint venture between the Government and the CNPC, capacity of 100,000 bbl/d

- Port Sudan Refinery (21,700 bbl/d)

Petronas has agreed to joint venture with the Government to build a new refinery in Port Sudan with capacity of 100.000 bbl/d to treat Dar Blend crude to be operational in 2009

- The small top-up refinery in Abu Gabra is planned for closure in 2007

There are plans to build a refinery in Kosti

Sudan had total combined refining capacity of 121,700 bbl/d as of January 2007. In July 2006, CNPC announced the completion of the Khartoum refinery expansion project, which doubled the refinery’s capacity from 50,000 bbl/d to 100,000 bbl/d. The Khartoum refinery processes Nile blend crude, which has a low sulphur content and high fuel-yield. The additional refinery capacity from the expansion should help alleviate the short supply of refined products available in Sudan, while giving the country some additional export capacity. The Port Sudan facility is located near the Red Sea and is Sudan’s smallest refinery, with a capacity of 21,700 bbl/d. In September 2005, a contract was awarded to Petronas to build a new refinery at Port Sudan, together with Sudapet. The refinery will be designed to process Dar blend crude, which has high-acid content and is found in Sudan’s Melut basin. The refinery will have a minimum capacity of 100,000 bbl/d and could be operational in 2009. Petronas is joined with the Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Mining in a 50:50 partnership in the project
