Congolese Refining (CORAF) has announced a temporary suspension of business activities for the duration of eight weeks for planned maintenance. In a statement released by the company, the maintenance is scheduled to comply with the law of the mines administration, requiring an overhaul of its production units every six years and performance testing on equipment. During the maintenance period, which is scheduled until 02 March 2023, the company plans to modernize the refinery to increase its refining capacity. In addition, the Director General of the National Petroleum Company of Congo (SNPC), Maixent Raoul Ominga, stated that CORAF obtains an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tonnes, providing up to 70% for refined petroleum products, which is intended to improve the demand during the temporary closure in order to meet the fuel supply for the Congolese petroleum sector.
