  • Where are Morocco's oil refineries located?
  • The second Moroccan refinery is located close to Rabat, with a processing capacity of around 30,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 190,000 m 3 of petroleum products (Jamea 2021 ). Another oil refinery is expected to be built in Nador West Med, in northern Morocco with a capacity of around 200,000 barrels per day (Kasraoui 2019).
  • What is oil used for in Morocco?
  • These include fuels for automobiles, ships and aircraft, as well as those used for heating. Oil is also made into a variety of chemicals and products with a wide range of industrial and commercial uses ¨C notably plastics. No data for Morocco for 2022.
  • Why did Morocco start a refinery?
  • The refinery played a crucial role in meeting Morocco's domestic demand for petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. By producing these products locally, the country was less reliant on imported fuel, which helped to reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and increase energy security.
  • Are fossil fuels still a major source of energy in Morocco?
  • Although fossil fuels still dominate the electricity sectors (with a share of 65% coal, 11% natural gas, and 2% oil in electricity generation in Morocco; 80% natural gas in Jordan, and 96% natural gas and 4% oil in Oman), the ambitions to increase the renewable energy share are politically supported in all three countries.
  • How many oil refineries are there in Jordan?
  • Jordan has one oil refinery which is located close to Amman in Zarqa with a capacity of 60,000 barrels per day that is planned to be increased to 120,000 barrels (Hydrocarbons Technology 2022 ). Morocco has two oil refineries in operation and one in the planning stage.
  • How many petrochemical refineries are there in Oman?
  • Oman has two refineries with a combined capacity of 304,000 barrels per day at Sohar and Mina Al Fahal. The Sohar refinery site was expanded in 2019 to a capacity of 198,000 barrels per day, with much of this production output set to fuel the petrochemical production (BP 2021 ).
