Nigeria to introduce real-time tracking for oil export shipments
Nigeria's oil regulator is set to bring in a new rule that requires oil producers to obtain an export permit, vessel clearance and a unique identification number to enable real-time tracking of cargoes, based on regulations seen by Reuters. The government said the updated regulations are designed to enable real-time monitoring of oil cargo exports, aiming to combat theft and under-declaration at export terminals, and thereby significantly enhance government revenue. The new rules mark a significant departure from the previous system which only required producers to declare cargoes to customs authorities for export permit issuance. "The new guidelines represent a significant step toward a more transparent, accountable and efficient oil export regime in Nigeria," the spokesperson for the regulator said. Reinforcing the necessity of these changes, Ayodele Oni, an energy lawyer at Lagos-based Bloomfield law firm, said the previous system was not equipped for real-time tracking. "This deficiency led to issues such as under-reporting, theft, revenue loss and mismatches in export data," Oni said. Under the revised framework, known as the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Advance Cargo Declaration Regulation, exporters must file comprehensive details of the vessel and cargo in advance, including the consignee, port destination, tonnage and estimated time of arrival. Strict compliance with these new regulations is mandatory and non-compliance carries potential penalties of up to $20,000. (Reporting by Isaac Anyaogu. Editing by Jane Merriman)

African Refiners & Distributors Association (ARDA) Executive Secretary Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 in Support of Africa's Growing Downstream Sector
Anibor Kragha, Executive Secretary of the African Refiners&Distributors Association (ARDA) – a pan-African organization that serves as the voice of the continent's downstream sector – will speak at this year's African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference. Taking place on September 29-October 3 in Cape Town, the event is the largest gathering of energy stakeholders on the continent. Kragha's participation will contribute to discussions on the downstream sector, covering challenges, opportunities, trends and projects. This comes as many of Africa's major oil and gas producers – including Nigeria, Angola, Algeria and the Republic of Congo – pursue bold strategies to strengthen domestic petroleum value chains. These efforts aim to reduce refined petroleum imports and improve fuel security. ARDA plays a key role by promoting strategic collaboration, policy advocacy and industry innovation. Recently, the association called for the creation of an African downstream register to better support projects. At AEW 2025: Invest in African Energies Kragha is expected to outline the benefits of such a register and highlight ARDA's strategies to drive downstream expansion. AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit for more information about this exciting event. Refinery development is a critical priority for many African countries, with several major projects underway to boost regional fuel distribution and lower costs. Angola is advancing three new facilities aiming for a combined capacity of 445,000 barrels per day (bpd), including the 60,000 bpd Cabinda refinery (expected online in 2025), the 200,000 bpd Lobito facility and the 150,000 bpd Soyo project. Nigeria's Dangote Refinery, Africa's largest at 650,000 bpd, is progressing toward full operational capacity. In the Republic of Congo, the Fouta Refinery, designed to produce 2.5 million tons of petroleum products annually, is slated to begin operations by the end of 2025. South Africa plans to rehabilitate the SAPREF refinery, which has been closed since 2022. The refurbishment aims to raise capacity from 180,000 bpd to 600,000 bpd, opening new opportunities for affordable fuel supply. Beyond refineries, several African countries are prioritizing cross-border pipelines to boost exports and regional fuel distribution. Notable projects include the 1,443-km East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline linking Uganda's oilfields to Tanzania's Port of Tanga and expected to start operations in 2026. Nigeria's $25 billion Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline will traverse 13 West African countries over 5,660 km to connect Nigerian gas fields with European markets via Morocco, with production targeted for 2029. Meanwhile, a planned $13 billion pipeline running from Nigeria through Niger to Algeria, spanning 4,128 km and delivering 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually, aims to facilitate regional exports and deeper African collaboration. While these developments mark significant progress toward expanding fuel distribution in Africa, achieving downstream ambitions requires substantial investment. Kragha's participation at AEW 2025: Invest in African Energies is expected to provide valuable insights on sector challenges and opportunities, fostering new deals and partnerships. 'In order to end energy poverty by 2030, Africa must significantly scale up investments across the downstream sector,' says Ore Onagbesan, Program Director of AEW 2025. 'By shifting from an export-driven to a domestic-focused mindset, the continent can unlock greater value from its oil and gas resources. Organizations like ARDA recognize the critical role refining, pipelines, petrochemicals and terminals play in enhancing energy security across Africa.'

Egypt pens $200mln deal with China's Sunrev Solar to build solar energy complex in Sokhna
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly witnessed the signing of a contract for the establishment of an integrated industrial complex for solar energy supplies in the Ain Sokhna industrial zone, within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), as per a statement. The project will be developed by Chinese company Sunrev Solar with total investments of $200 million, and is among the largest industrial investments in renewable energy components within the zone. Spanning 200,000 square meters, the project will be executed in two phases. The first phase involves the construction of integrated factories with a production capacity of 2 gigawatts of solar cells and 2 gigawatts of solar modules, with investments of $90 million. The second phase, valued at $110 million, will focus on localizing the production of key raw materials such as silicon ingots and wafers, completing the full solar energy supply chain from raw material to finished product. Madbouly emphasized the strategic importance of the SCZone in attracting investments across various sectors, particularly in renewable energy. He noted ongoing efforts to localize manufacturing of new and renewable energy components, backed by strong government support and incentives. Chairman of the SCZone Waleid Gamal El-Dien stated that the project is expected to generate more than 1,800 direct jobs across both phases. It will contribute significantly to Egypt's export capacity, with anticipated annual revenues of up to $300 million. He added that the foundation stone will be laid on June 19th, with the first phase scheduled to begin operations in the first half (H1) of 2026. © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology.
