Ghana’s 45,000Barrels Per Stream Day (BPD) Tema Oil Refinery is not functioning. But the country has had two modular refineries in the last five years: the Platon Refinery and Akwaaba Link Investment Refinery, which collectively have combined nameplate capacity of 8,000BPD.
Under construction is another modular facility; the 40,000BPD Sentuo Oil Refinery (Phase 1) now reportedly 80% complete and would be commissioned before the end of 2023.
The Refinery’s expansion phase is expected to add an additional 20,000BPD or 1Million Tonnes Per Year, (taking full capacity to 60,000BPD) but that is after the First Phase is delivered. Total investment at the 60,000BPD mark, is expected to reach around $3Billion.
