The Odebrecht Group Company Will Begin Construction of the Oil Refinery in Angola Between April and May

Odebrecht announced this week that it will build a new oil refinery in Angola. The chosen company to carry out the works is OEC, which operates in the engineering and construction sector of the Odebrecht group. The oil refinery will be built in the province of Cabinda, located about 30 km north of Luanda, the capital of Angola. The contract value is estimated at US$ 920 million, and the installation works are expected to start between April and May of this year (2021).

Capacity of the Oil Refinery in Angola

The total capacity of Odebrecht’s oil refinery will process around 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which will yield gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene, and also fuel oil.

The main focus of this investment is to reduce Angola’s dependence on imported refined products as much as possible, as well as to boost the country’s exports in the oil production sector.

Statistics

Angola is one of the largest producers of crude oil in Africa, ranking just behind Nigeria. In 2018, the volume was 3.5 million tons of refined products consumed. 80% of the products were imported, with 65% coming from China.

Odebrecht Group’s Vision for the Contract

According to Odebrecht, the contract closed between OEC and Cabinda Oil is essential to boost its project sector, as there was a significant decline when the group was implicated in the Lava Jato operation by the Federal Police between 2014 and 2015, impacting OEC’s operations in Brazil, Latin America, and Africa. The expectation is that this new project will bring better visibility to the controlling group.

Odebrecht Group’s Vision for the Contract

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.
