Notes

News from March 2026 confirms Cabinda Refinery started commercial production in April 2026. The facility has transitioned from under_construction to operational. However, utilization is estimated as low (15%) as the refinery is in early startup phase, typically operating at reduced capacity during initial commissioning and ramp-up period.
