ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has announced the arrival of approximately one million barrels of Bonga Crude Oil aboard the MT Cap Felix as part of ongoing efforts to revitalize the refinery and restore full-scale refining operations.
According to management of the refinery, the crude cargo was purchased from Shell and supplied through TOR’s tolling partner, Fujeirah/Triangle Commodities Trading (TCT), under arrangements designed to support the refinery’s operational recovery and ensure steady petroleum product supply to the Ghanaian market.
This was contained in a statement released Wednesday on the X handle of the CEO of TOR, Edmond Kombat.
TOR described the development as another significant milestone in its drive to restore stable refining activities, strengthen national energy security, and reduce Ghana’s dependence on imported refined petroleum products.
The refinery noted that Bonga Crude, which is known for its low-sulphur content and high refining yields, is expected to produce large volumes of premium petroleum products including LPG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation turbine kerosene (ATK), and fuel oil for both domestic and regional markets.
Management expressed appreciation to the Government of Ghana, regulatory institutions, financial partners, and other stakeholders for their continued support toward the refinery’s operational resurgence.
TOR further reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and the long-term transformation of the refinery into a competitive and commercially sustainable energy hub for Ghana and the wider West African region.
The refinery added that it would continue to engage stakeholders and the public as operations progress.
