Nasr Petroleum Company (NPC) The oldest refinery in Africa, NPC was commissioned in 1913. It was nationalized after the July 1952 revolution and 100% owned by EGPC. Its production capacity stands at 146,000 barrels a day, according to the company website. However, EGPC estimates it at 107,550 barrels a day. In addition to its own Suez-based refinery (99,000 barrels a day), NPC operates the Wadi Feran refinery (8,550 barrels a day) in the Gulf of Suez, overlooking the Red Sea. The majority of NPC production is in hydrocracking and bitumen. The latter is exported if production outstrips demand. The refinery also produces butane, diesel oil, kerosene, mazut, naphtha. A portion of its inputs are imported. In 2017, NPC received some of the 2 million barrels of crude oil imported every month from the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan as per a 2016 agreement, according to an Arab Finance article published in 2017. https://egyptoil-gas.com/features/egypts-refineries-a-complete-picture/
