Burkina Faso - Mineral FuelsBurkina Faso - Mineral Fuels
Burkina Faso does not have its own oil production. Fuel is imported to run many types of machinery, from transportation engines to power generation plants.
The mineral fuel market is dominated by the presence of the Burkinabe National Hydrocarbons Corporation (SONABHY). It is the official fuel importer. Individuals and companies distribute fuel, most of the time through franchising well-known oil companies like Total and Shell. Also, gas distribution is weak, as bottle refilling capacity is limited. However, the oil distribution sector is open to competition.
