Crude oil is imported into South Africa by private players linked to the major locally based energy multinationals, PetroSA and SASOL, that engage in petroleum refining, storage and marketing. High oil prices are a major threat to the country's overall energy security and lead to high direct costs to consumers.
Chief exports include corn, diamonds, fruits, gold, metals and minerals, sugar, and wool. Machinery and transportation equipment make up more than one-third of the value of the country's imports.
Current Production:Currently South Africa produces 5% of its fuel needs from gas, 35% from coal and 50% from local crude oil refineries. Shell (26%), Engen (26%), BP (26%), Sasol Oil (16%) and Total (6%) own the SBM, which is managed and operated by SAPREF, the country's largest oil refinery.
South Africa does not export oil and gas. Gas is imported into South Africa via the Mozambique transmission pipeline, subject to the licensing regime under the Gas Act, in terms of which trading and distribution licences must be obtained from the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA).
