Sonangol - Lobito Refinery

The Angolan hydrocarbons industry is currently benefiting from an expansion in the country's offshore oil and gas fields. These have given the state owned oil and gas monopoly, Sonangol, a need to extend its refining capacity to match its enhanced oil and gas production. Angola is expected to be Africa's biggest oil producers in the sub-Sahara by 2015.
The new refinery, occupying an area of 150 hectares and located at 8 kilometers North of Lobito, is a strategic project intended to reduce Angola's reliance on imported fuels by processing Angolan crude for the production of unleaded gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, LPG, and small amounts of sulfur.
