South Sudan's Micro Refineries: A Game Changer?

Executive Summary
This report examines the feasibility of establishing a micro oil refinery in South Sudan. South Sudan possesses substantial crude oil reserves; however, its refining capacity is severely limited, leading to a heavy reliance on imported petroleum products. This study analyzes the current state of South Sudan's oil and gas industry, the demand for refined products, the regulatory environment, the economic viability of a micro refinery, potential challenges, relevant case studies from Africa, and the availability of crude oil feedstock. The findings suggest that while there are significant opportunities due to the gap in refining capacity and the availability of crude oil, substantial challenges related to political instability, infrastructure limitations, and the regulatory environment must be carefully considered. A phased approach, focusing on meeting local demand and leveraging modular refinery technology, appears to offer the most viable path forward.
