Senegal Crude Oil Production
There is currently no oil production. Supplies are covered by imports of either crude oil or refined products. In 2022, Senegal imported 0.5 Mt of crude oil and 2.5 Mt of oil products.
Senegal has one refinery in M'Bao near Dakar with a capacity of 25 kb/d (1.3 Mt/year). Built in 1963, it does not have secondary conversion units and only uses Nigerian light crude oil. Consequently, its production is limited both by the crude range and by the variety of the distillates produced. In 2022, the refinery produced only 0.4 Mt of oil products.
