據道瓊斯9月22日消息，赤道幾內亞政府已經表示，預計未來幾個月將新建一座煉油廠，成本將在5,500萬至7,600萬美元之間。這家模塊化煉油廠將由美國馬拉松石油公司運營，煉油能力將在每天5000至10000桶之間，并將從Alba和Alen油井中開采原油。該煉油廠將使這個中非國家能夠生產供當地消費的石油，并幫助該國減少成品油進口，解決成品油短缺的問題。赤道幾內亞礦業和油氣部長Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima表示，該投資將于2021年第一季度開始。

Equatorial Guinea Pushes Ahead With Building Of Oil Refinery for Local Supply

The government of Equatorial Guinea has said a new oil refinery expected to be built in the months ahead will cost between $55 million and $76 million.

The modular refinery, to be operated by U.S. energy company Marathon Petroleum, will have a capacity of between 5,000 and 10,000 barrels daily and will drill its crude from the Alba and Alen wells.

It will enable the Central African nation to produce oil for local consumption and help it cut imports of refined oil and halt shortage of refined hydrocarbons products.

Minister for Mines and Hydrocarbons Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima said the investment will start in the first quarter of 2021.
