GAS HUNGER

2nd August 2013

  

Font size: - +

National oil company PetroSA is hungry for more gas to feed its 42 000 bl/d gas-to-liquids refinery located near Mossel Bay, in the Western Cape. The facility, developed in the 1980s in response to tightening sanctions against the then apartheid government, has always been somewhat gas short. But it is currently operating well below nameplate capacity – a situation that will only be partially improved by the introduction of gas from the FO offshore field later this year. The group is, thus, probing longer-term solutions, including the development of infrastructure to enable it to import liquefied natural gas from 2018.
