Technip Energies wins two FEED contracts for SOGARA refinery in Gabon
- Technip Energies was awarded two FEED contracts by SOGARA for revamp and expansion of the Port-Gentil refinery in Gabon
- Debottlenecking FEED includes a new kerosene sweetening unit, four new storage facilities, and full process integration with existing units
- Expansion FEED covers a modular Hydrocracker Complex, a new marine jetty/offloading facility, and hydrogen production via proprietary SMR technology
- Both projects target Africa 5 fuel-quality standards (strict sulfur limits), reducing sulfur emissions and supporting local jobs and economic development
Project overview
Technip Energies was awarded two FEED contracts by Société Gabonaise de Raffinage (SOGARA) for revamp and expansion of the Port-Gentil refinery in Gabon, covering both debottlenecking of existing units and a new modular Hydrocracker Complex.
Debottlenecking scope
The first FEED targets key process units and includes a new kerosene sweetening unit, four additional storage facilities, and full process integration between existing and new units.
Expansion scope
The second FEED covers a modular Hydrocracker Complex to significantly increase refining capacity and incorporates a new marine jetty and offloading facility; hydrogen provision in the scope references Technip Energies’ proprietary Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) technology.
Standards and local impact
Both projects are designed to meet Africa 5 fuel-quality standards (stringent sulfur limits), aiming to reduce sulfur emissions and support improved air quality, as well as contribute to Gabon’s economic development and local employment.
