Notes: 1996 Actual refining capacity is based on maximising petrol production and assumes a 92% capacity availability.
Capacity includes synfuel production at 1996 levels. There are currently no announced expansions in productive capacity planned to come on stream at the conventional refineries before the year 2000.
Demand includes sales in South Africa plus sales to Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia.
The figures for the year 2000 show the expected range of demand for key petroleum products, and indicate the surplus/shortfalls in low and high demand scenarios (forecasts) against 1996 refining capacity.
