3.2: Demand
Meet domestic demand. Other Information:
Given the high national demand for LPG and petrochemical products and to reduce the import of refined products, Sonangol in
partnership with companies operating in Angola, is building a new refinery (Sonaref) and a production plant for liquefied
natural gas (LNG). A Sonaref (Sonangol Refinaria) is a high conversion refinery that is being built in Lobito, Benguela. Sonaref
should be operational in 2015 and when in operation will have capacity to process 200,000 bpd. Project 'Angola LNG' is in
charge of the construction of the LNG plant, and ALNG is a collaboration project between Sonangol (22.8%), Chevron (36.4%),
bp, ENI and Total (these three with 13.6% each). With this facility we will produce petrochemicals in the country and end
the flaring of gas resulting from oil exploration.
