[Project Background] Angola is a major oil exporter in Africa, but has long relied on imports for refined petroleum products. The Sonaref refinery project aims to build a modern refinery with an annual processing capacity of approximately 200,000 barrels per day, achieving localized production of refined petroleum products in Angola and reducing dependence on external sources in the energy industry chain.

[Role of Chinese Enterprises] Sinopec Engineering Incorporation (SEI) participated in the FEED design and EPC services for the Sonaref project, providing basic engineering design for the refinery units and offering continuous technical support in subsequent engineering phases, demonstrating the capabilities of Chinese petrochemical engineering design enterprises in the African refining and petrochemical market.

[Scope of Services] L2 Engineering Design (FEED) + L4 EPC Turnkey Contract, providing comprehensive engineering services for the Sonaref refinery, from basic design to engineering construction.

[Typical Significance] The participation of Chinese petrochemical engineering enterprises in Angola's Sonaref refinery project establishes an engineering service foothold in one of Africa's largest oil-producing countries, serving as a significant case of Chinese petrochemical technical services advancing into the forefront of the African refining and petrochemical market.
