In Angola, refining activities have been carried out since 1958, when the first facilities for Refining Crude Oil were inaugurated. Fast forward to the present, Sonangol Refining & Petrochemical Unit, which is the subsidiary of Sonangol ( The National Oil & Gas Comapny) responsible for refining crude oil, has been striving to meet the growing domestic and regional demand, increasing value by increasing its total refining capacity, developing three new refinery projects in the Provinces of Lobito, Cabinda and Zaire for the Soyo Refinery for a total refining output of 425.000 bbl/day from the current 65.000bbl/day. Such endeavors aim to generate social and economic growth within the country and job creation for the communities. The recent completion of the new complex unit which was the expansion project of the gasoline refining capacity at the Luanda Refinery, agreed between Sonangol and Azule Energy became a fact with its inauguration on July 7, 2022, offering more than 4000.000 MT/year of Gasoline to the domestic market, setting the tone for the other refining projects currently being developed.
