What We Do

Oil and Gas

How Might COVID-19 Affect The Competitive Landscape?

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lower demand for oil and gas during the first half of 2020 and disrupted supply chains. This had two key impacts.

The first impact was a consequence of the difficulty of reducing the production of oil and gas products and this led to significant surpluses and, therefore, critical storage problems for the excess supply. Storage terminals and oil pipelines and LNG storage were in danger of reaching maximum capacity in Q2 2020.

The second impact was a consequence of the price of oil and gas tumbling, resulting in cancelled orders and the consequential inability of countries to store the excess product. The immediate impact is a loss of investment into the industry which could impact the financial viability of many institutions.

EGH sites

South Africa

EGH has entered into a 35 year lease in Komatipoort for a 100 000m3 fuel storage facility. Komatipoort is a strategic site for a storage facility as it  has a train siding and is accessible from Maputo through to Eswatini and large parts of South Africa. The advantage of being significantly closer than the Durban port is a further advantage.

Mozambique

EGH has entered into a take or pay lease agreement with PetroMoc in Matola, Mozambique. The partnership with PetroMoc gives EGH a significant competitive edge by having both storage facilities and access to refineries. This definitely leads to a better price to our clients. EGH through its Mozambican subsidiary has all the rights required to operate an oil and gas business in Mozambique. This includes the transport of hazardous goods and we will be using the PetroMoc facility which includes all the licenses to store the commodity.

Botswana

EGH has identified Francistown as its first site to supply the Botswana market. Botswana is a landlocked country and is thus dependent on neighboring countries for the import and export of strategic goods.  The access to Botswana can be via air or by land through the Republic of South Africa or Namibia borders. An instability in any of the routes leading to Botswana is a huge risk for the country and its access to strategic goods. Botswana thus needs to always have sufficient reserves of fuel and these can be held by either the state or private sector.
