Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Ghana, has disclosed that it has received approximately 1,000,000 barrels of Bonga Crude Oil aboard the MT Cap Felix as part of its ongoing refinery revitalisation and crude processing programme.
The crude oil cargo was purchased from Shell Bonga FPSO, deep offshore Nigeria, and supplied through TOR’s tolling partner, Fujeirah/Triangle Commodities Trading (TCT), under an arrangement aimed at supporting the refinery’s operational recovery and ensuring sustained petroleum product supply to the Ghanaian market.
According to the Tema Oil official statement, the receipt of the Bonga Crude marks another significant milestone in Tema’s efforts to restore stable refining activities, improve national energy security, and reduce Ghana’s dependence on imported refined petroleum products.
Bonga Crude, known for its high-quality, low-sulphur characteristics and favourable refining yields, is expected to produce substantial volumes of premium petroleum products, including LPG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, ATK, and fuel oil, for the domestic and regional markets.
Management of Tema expressed appreciation to the Government of Ghana, regulatory institutions, financial partners, and all stakeholders whose support continues to contribute to the refinery’s operational resurgence.
