PetroSA is trying to figure out what to do with its mothballed refinery at Mossel Bay.

PetroSA says it can make fuel for a third of SA's cars at Mossel Bay – with some foreign helpAn oil rig visible over the meeting of the Hartenbos river and the sea, near Mossel Bay. It is looking for partners with oil, or money, or preferably both plus the backing of a nation state.The refinery shut down in 2020 for lack of raw oil and gas, and massive new gas fields are not expected to be online for some time.

Under one scenario, the refinery would handle imported crude oil at a rate of 200,000 barrels per day. But that is at the very top end of the company's ambitions; it has also sketched out scenarios – requiring far less capital investment – that would make for an output as low as 7,500 barrels per day, just about 1% of what South Africa needs daily., though the exact level is highly dependent on whether Eskom has money for diesel at any given time.

It is also keen for partners who can get to work this year, with considerably less interest in those who can only get production up and running after 2025.

EE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS: Diesel or Darkness: PetroSA charges Eskom unfair prices, extracts upfront paymentsEskom has been forced to pay exorbitant prices for diesel it buys in bulk from PetroSA, the financially distressed state-owned entity which is its main diesel supplier, even as the utility battles in vain to stave off worsening stages of load shedding.

Speculation is only needed if it suits your narrative better than the actual facts. The reason Eskom’s DMRE application was denied is public knowledge. Seems investigative only has meaning when it relates to Zuma.
