BMI View: Rumours abound that the traditional refinery operators in South Africa could abandon the
country in the face of huge investment in capacity to meet higher fuel specifications. Plans by the country to
build a large new refinery are also causing concern, so the outlook for the downstream segment is
uncertain. The state looks likely to allow drilling for shale gas to proceed, unlocking considerable upstream
potential - although local resistance is set to continue.
The main trends and developments in South Africa's oil & gas sector are:
In September 2012, South Africa's Cabinet has announced the end of a temporary ban on fraccing, which
had been in place since April 2011. Bundu Oil & Gas, Chesapeake Energy, Chevron, Falcon Oil & Gas,
Sasol, Shell and Statoil are among the players actively pursuing the development of shale gas in South
Africa. The government's decision will move the process forward, with public consultations the next step in
an ongoing process to develop the country's unconventional gas reserves. Environmental groups have
responded to the government's decision by confirming they will file a lawsuit to prevent any actual
production of shale gas, but Shell has said that following the government's latest decision first gas from
shale would be possible by 2015.
