Uses of oil
Crude oil is refined into a range of oil products mainly used as fuels – including petrol and diesel for cars, jet fuel, heating oil and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Derivatives also include asphalt used in roads, wax, and lubricants.
We own a 49% stake in HG Storage International – which provides petroleum products storage and logistics in the major global trading hubs and strategically important locations across Europe, Africa and the Americas.
We have operating fields in Chad, as well as offshore interests in operating fields in Equatorial Guinea.
We also have interests in Cameroon – where significant oil and gas reserves have been discovered both onshore and offshore.
