The Khartoum Refinery Company, also colloquially known as Al-Jili Oil refinery, is a petroleum company in Sudan. The firm's name is abbreviated to KRC. The company was founded in 1997 and began operations in 2000. KRC is based in Khartoum.

Ownership

The company is 50% owned by the Sudanese government's Ministry of Energy & Mining (MEM) and 50% owned by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)..

Operations

The company operates the Al Jaili oil refinery 70 kilometers north of Khartoum. The capacity of the refinery is 100,000 barrels of oil per day.

Excess petroleum is exported from Bashair Port on the Red Sea through a pipeline of 1610 km length, making it the longest pipeline in Africa.

The facility has been non-operational since July 2023 due to the Sudanese civil war (2023–present), which has seen the facility attacked several times.
