SAPIA’s 20th4 Created in Cape Town in 2006 Not-for-profit, Swiss registered Association Represents the pan-African downstream oil industry A platform for debate and policy foundations for all downstream players – not just refiners Introduction to the ARA
5
SAPIA’s 20th5 Introduction to the ARA 37 of the 43 African operating oil refineries are members In South Africa, PetroSA and Engen are members New refineries in Chad & Niger are expected to join and have already attended ARA meetings 47 non-refining companies (i.e. importers, terminal operators, government regulators, major marketers, shippers) are Associate Members

SAPIA’s 20th11 Example: Refining Value Study “the Value of African Refining”
12
SAPIA’s 20th12 Reasons for conducting the Refining Value Study
13
SAPIA’s 20th Refining environment Refiners are facing increasingly tough operating conditions across the globe: Refinery margins are narrow, and are expected to remain so New world-scale refinery plants coming online US tight oil/shale gas revolution – refining margin bonanza Continuing low shipping freight rates offer new product arbitrages - from AG, India & USGC 13
14
SAPIA’s 20th African refining challenge In this environment, African refiners will struggle to secure investment unless: Countries decide that refineries are part of their strategic infrastructure because of the economic and social benefits that they provide Governments support refineries through incentives and/or capital increases (the state is often a major shareholder) Value is generated by taking advantage of difficult product import logistics or special products to enhance refining margins Governments support refinery improvements (e.g. desulphurisation and upgrading) to aid public health and to improve refining economics 14
15
SAPIA’s 20th Refineries struggle to survive “It’s official — Kenya will stop refinery operations” Standard Media Group Tuesday, December 3rd 2013 *** “Experience of clean fuels programs … suggest…that refiners are unlikely to receive a commercial return on any such investment.” WoodMackenzie: African Refining Value Study March 2014 15
16
SAPIA’s 20th The study The ARA launched the study to quantify not only the direct, but the indirect and induced benefits of the refining industry to a local economy This measurement to then be used to assess the degree to which any investment in a refinery is justifiable After a competitive tender, the study was awarded to Wood Mackenzie 16

18
SAPIA’s 20th Object of the study To quantifiably measure the socio- economic impact of a refinery To use this measurement to evaluate future investment in refining versus product import facilities To help shape future government policy 18
19
SAPIA’s 20th Methodology 19 Valuation of the contribution from refineries is based on the host nation’s alternative of investing in product import terminals
20
SAPIA’s 20th Methodology The sub-division of Africa, rather than by North, South, East, West geography, is defined as being either well developed or less developed, based on the United Nations’ Human Development Index (HDI) HDI is an indicator created by the UN to represent the social and economic development of a country The refinery indicator assesses the ability to add value to crude (yields, margin, operating costs, import/export balances, employment) 20
21
SAPIA’s 20th The conclusions Refineries in almost all cases add value to countries over an import terminal alternative The major factor is the value added of greater employment and the consequent multiplier effect of: Direct labour Indirect labour Induced labour 21
22
SAPIA’s 20th Job creation at refineries filters across society Illustration of employment multiplier effect Refinery Direct Employees Induced Employees Support Industries Indirect Employees An oil refinery supports job creation through three channels; » Firstly, the refinery employs people directly to run the refinery. » The operation of the refinery requires inputs from other industries, which also creates employment. This is called indirect employment. » Finally, both the direct and indirect employees spend their wages, supporting other businesses. This is called induced employment
23
SAPIA’s 20th Total job creation Net Job Creation from Refining The total job creation generated by a refining presence may reach up 10,000 in some countries
24
SAPIA’s 20th Some other direct benefits of a refinery Security of supply – Removes the risks of piracy, unfavourable marine conditions, trade embargos and competing markets Health benefits – Cuts CO2 emissions generated by unnecessary tanker journeys Aids transparency – all fuels are sourced from a well-controlled entity, reducing opportunities for opaque business operations to be carried out 24
25
SAPIA’s 20th Other benefits Industrial development – Refinery output can generate chemicals and specialised products for use in other industries such as textiles, construction, electronics and machinery Facilitates tax collection – A well-controlled tax point for petroleum products allows the government to regulate tax collection more efficiently 25
26
SAPIA’s 20th Outcome of study “Even weaker refineries can provide a positive contribution to local economies” - Woodmac 26 Strong refineries in more developed countries, such as RSA, offer the largest benefit to local economies
27
SAPIA’s 20th Refineries with a history of investment give higher economic benefit Added Value to Local Economies – Refineries Net of Import Terminal Strong Refinery, more developed Weak Refinery, more developed Strong Refinery, less developed Weak Refinery, less developed Netting off GVA contribution from import terminal shows weak refineries can be a net burden Refineries with a history of investment give a higher economic benefit than the contribution from import terminals
