About SAPREF
Ajoint venture between Shell SA Refining and BP Southern Africa, SAPREF is Southern Africa’s largest crude oil refinery. The refinery has been in operation for 50 years. Building work on the SAPREF refinery started in 1960 and the first staff members were employed in June 1963.
SAPREF makes 10 main products in 46 different grades. We produce ±2,7 billion litres of petrol per year, which is enough fuel to take 800 000 cars around the world. We have

up to 700° C and at pressures up to 120 bar. SAPREF’s facilities are of national strategic importance. They include the refinery in the South Durban Basin (SDB), storage facilities
at the harbour (Island View), a Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) where tankers offload about 85% of South Africa’s crude oil imports, and
