The petroleum sector in Kenya is organized into three sections: the upstream, mid-stream and downstream. The upstream section involves the process of exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas. The mid-stream section revolves around storage, refining and transportation of crude oil into consumable petroleum products
For example, only 40% of distilled crude oil is gasoline; however, gasoline is one of the major products made by oil companies. Rather than continually distilling large quantities of crude oil, oil companies chemically process some other fractions from the distillation column to make gasoline; this processing increases the yield of gasoline
Kenya’s Crude Oil Production to Hit 46,000 BpD in 2023
From a production perspective, BP expects natural gas output to increase by 50 percent across Africa by 2040. This production is, however, contingent on the development of gas reserves in East Africa. While Kenya is ramping its crude oil production, it is also prospecting for gas.
