Technip Energies awarded two FEED contracts by SOGARA for refinery complex in Gabon

The first contract covers the FEED for debottlenecking SOGARA’s existing refinery. It targets key process units and includes a new kerosene sweetening unit and four new storage facilities. Technip Energies will ensure full process integration across existing and new units.

The second contract covers the FEED for a new, modularised Hydrocracker Complex designed to significantly expand SOGARA’s refining capacity. The scope also includes a new marine jetty and offloading facility. Technip Energies will leverage its engineering excellence and technology integration know-how, including its proprietary Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) technology for hydrogen production.

Both projects are designed to meet Africa 5 fuel quality standards – the continent’s most stringent specifications for sulfur content in transportation fuels – supporting a meaningful reduction in sulfur emissions and improved air quality for local communities. They will also support Gabon’s economic development and local employment.

Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery & Services of Technip Energies, commented: "We are pleased to have been entrusted by SOGARA with these two contracts, which reflect our recognised expertise in both brownfield optimisation and complex greenfield project development. The new Hydrocracker Complex demonstrates our ability to combine engineering excellence, technology integration, and our proprietary SMR hydrogen technology to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions. This award reinforces our commitment to modernising refining infrastructure across Africa and creating lasting value for our clients and local communities."

This award was recorded in 1Q26 in the Technology, Products & Services segment.
