Mastering sub-Saharan Africa’s Downstream Oil & Gas: Refining, Trading, and Market Transformation
Course Overview
Africa’s downstream oil and gas sector is entering a new era of transformation. With mega-refineries like Dangote, regional rehabilitation projects (Port Harcourt, Tema, Abidjan), and expanding LNG/GTL initiatives, the region faces a unique blend of challenges and opportunities.
This intensive 5-day programme equips professionals with a comprehensive understanding of refining operations, petrochemicals, product marketing, trading, logistics, and risk management, all within the African context.
Through case studies, simulations, and hands-on exercises, participants will connect global downstream trends with regional realities—from underutilized refineries to cross-border product trading hubs and evolving fiscal regimes.
Why this course is important
The downstream sector in sub-Saharan Africa is critical to regional growth and global integration. Yet, persistent challenges—low refinery utilization, import dependence, subsidy reforms, and illegal trade—require professionals to master both technical fundamentals and commercial insights.
By attending, you will gain the tools to:
- Evaluate African crude properties and their refining implications.
- Assess refinery configurations, petrochemical integration, and economics.
- Understand trading dynamics, pricing benchmarks, and distribution networks.
- Manage refining margins, product blending, and “total barrel economics.”
- Apply risk management and hedging tools tailored for African markets.
- Explore future trends: modular refineries, biofuels, and cleaner fuel policies.
Who should attend
This course is ideal for professionals working in or with the African downstream sector:
- Refinery & Petrochemical Specialists
- Corporate Planners & Strategists in oil and gas
- Trading, Marketing & Supply Chain Managers
- Regulators & Government Officials shaping downstream policy
- Bankers, Investors & Analysts in energy finance
