Sahara Group eyes Total’s stakes in three African refineries

Sahara Group, a Nigerian energy and infrastructure conglomerate, is negotiating with Total to buy the French oil company’s stakes in refineries in Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal.

The Executive Director, Sahara Group, Mr Tope Shonubi, was quoted by S&P Global Platts as saying this on the sidelines of the African Refiners Association conference in Cape Town.


Shonubi said Sahara was also looking to take a controlling stake in Zambia’s only refinery.

He said, “The market has changed now. From your traditional typical trading [house], now you have to invest in infrastructure and provide some sort finance. The market has evolved. You cannot just trade alone. There must be added value.

“Our objective is to upgrade all these refineries. It is strategic for us to be shareholders; it is strategic to ensure that because of our participation in the value chain and both in the crude supply and in products we have to make sure we have to maximise what we are doing.”


According to him, Sahara already has less than a 10 per cent stake in the 75,000 barrels per day refinery in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, and the 27,000 bpd refinery in Dakar, Senegal, and hopes to increase those stakes by buying Total’s shares in the refineries.

Total owns a 19.71 per cent interest in Sonara, Cameroon’s only refinery, a seven per cent stake in theSociete Africaine de Raffinage refinery in Senegal, and has a 20 per cent holding in Societe Ivoirienne de Raffinage, which owns and operates Cote d’Ivoire’s sole refinery in Abidjan.

Sahara is a key supplier of crude for the three West African refineries, all of which predominantly run on Nigerian crude.

Sahara is also in the midst of taking a 70 per cent stake in the 25,000 bpd Indeni refinery from the Zambian Government and hopes to conclude the deal in the coming months.

Shonubi, in a statement made available to our correspondent on Wednesday, said the adoption of unified standards across Africa would create a bigger and more effective regional market that would enhance the continent’s competitive positioning in global energy markets.

He said the existence of a fragmented petroleum products market with different product specifications, sulphur content and emission requirements remained a huge stumbling block to accessing the benefits that could accrue from intra-regional trade in the sector.

He said, “The adoption of similar specifications and standards has been achieved across Europe and most of North America, creating a single larger market for petroleum trade.

“While diesel specifications remain fragmented across Africa, jet fuel specifications are almost completely unified across the world. This similarity has improved the ease of trading jet fuel across borders, ensured access to a wider market and enhanced competitiveness in the aviation industry.”

Shonubi urged all stakeholders to embrace the AFRI-4 standards, which were the outcome of a partnership between ARA and the World Bank to promote the adoption of a single standard for cleaner fuels.

According to him, the adoption of the Afri-4 specifications will guarantee unified product standard across the region, ease of intra-regional petroleum product trade, reduction in bulk transportation costs and optimisation of regional infrastructure.

“This will ultimately make Africa a more influential economic bloc,” he added.

He said the unified standards would defragment African markets, resulting in favourable economies of scale in intra-regional trade, regional harmonisation of taxes and excise duties, and reduction in smuggling and adulteration of products.

Shonubi further said it would lead to improved local refining capacity, reduced landing costs of petroleum products, joint infrastructure projects as well as export diversification and access to a larger customer base.

He said Africa must accord the prospects of intra-regional trade the urgency it deserved to ensure accelerated economic development.

This is not ranking. How can University of Cape town carry 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, etcetera in a single contest? You are daft, honestly. I am sorry to say this.


Now, see what comes up when you type University of Kenya. It displays the university and the position straight. But what happened when you type University of Ghana? Oops! It doesn't exist pops out. Bhuhahahaha!

But I think they are enjoying the show of shame.

What you believe is irrelevant. You have all your ten fingers intact, dontcha? Fucking use them to get the info you want!
Also, I'm not here to change anyone's perception of South Africa, neither am I going to come here & be all apologetic about crimes committed by others. In fact, i couldn't care less. No remorse whatsoever because i have nothing eating at my conscience. If people cannot judge me as an individual instead of a South African, that is also their fucking problem, not mine.

Xenophobia existed long before South Africans made that word synonymous with the country. However, that still doesn't mean we're all guilty or supportive of it. Only a dim ray of sunshine would think we're all responsible or have something to account for. Bleep that!

Anyway yeah, it's warm & sunny in PTA. Not a single blood spatter or smoke

I know you are a bloody crook. You posted 2018 ranking. The reason you couldn't post the link. Shame on ya!

Kazikazi:
Do u think xenophobia is a byproduct of illegal immigrants?

FYI, when foreigners are attacked, the attackers don't ask for documents to see if a foreigner is illegal or not.
Most truck drivers who were attacked recently are not illegal immigrants. There are cross border truck drivers who don't even stay in south Africa but they were attacked. And there are white foreigners in SA who are illegal but are not attacked!Xenophobia is more than what you think

Your understanding of the causes of xenophobia is so pedestrian,apply the same analysis to
understand the phenomenon of marauding Fulani Herdsmen or causes of religious tensions in Nigeria or tribal wars on the continent.

That is like comparing apples and oranges
It doesn't make any sense
The best thing is for foreigners to leave and go back to there countries xenophobic attacks will always reoccur in south Africa

JaceBlaze:
............would my input put anyone at ease? would me speaking against xenophobia on the net automatically reassure the safety of immigrants in SA? I mean I'm just a guy with a phone in his hands who also happens to be a member of Nairaland and that's where it all ends for me.I'm not here on a diplomatic mission,so I get confused when I see my name tagged in things like this....WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
