Angola builds first oil refinery since independence
Story 3
Angola has built its first oil refinery 50 years after gaining independence.
The refinery will start with 30-thousand barrels per day and reach 60-thousand barrels per day later.
This refinery is Angola's first new facility of its kind in decades and aims to reduce the country's heavy reliance on imported fuel, increase local supply and allow exports.
Oil remains the backbone of Angola’s economy, accounting for the majority of government revenue and foreign exchange earnings.
