CEO, SONANGOL REFINING & PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY (SONAREF)
"Sonaref is spearheading three major refining projects: the Cabinda Oil Refinery, the Soyo Refinery, and the Lobito Refinery, which aim to increase our total refining capacity to 425,000 bpd."
"Brazil's geological makeup, consisting of ancient terrains exposed to weathering over long periods, provides great potential for rare earth projects."
"Oil production in Angola has been on a declining trend over the past few years, but our discoveries have bucked this trend with the company’s production increasing by 30% from 2022 to 2024."
"With the addition of the Manitou OEM brand, Eazi Access has a broader suite of products. After focusing extensively on the above-ground work and working at heights for our mining customers, Eazi Access is ready to grow further in the material handling and potentially underground business."
