Mining
Operations
Fuels
Operates six coal mines that supply
between 30 and 35 million tons of
thermal coal feedstock per annum
to our operations in Secunda and
Sasolburg, as well as to the export
market*. Production from our own
mines is supplemented with external
purchases to meet the requirements of
the Southern African value chain.
Secunda Operations (SO)
Operates the world's largest coalbased synthetic fuels and chemicals
production facility, supported by
natural gas as a feedstock. The process
uses advanced, high-temperature
Fischer-Tropsch technology to convert
syngas into a range of synthetic
fuel components, heating fuels and
chemical products.
Markets between 8,0 and 8,5
billion litres (50 to 54 million
barrels) of liquid fuels per annum,
supplying approximately 30% of
South Africa’s domestic fuel needs
through retail, commercial and
wholesale channels and operating
approximately 400 retail sites.
Sasolburg and Natref Operations
As the only supplier of gas at
scale in South Africa, supplies
58 to 61 bscf of gas per annum
to the external market through a
1 428km owned and operated gas
pipeline network, supporting 282
customers from approximately 457
supply points.
* Further to the repurposing of our existing
export beneficiation plant as a destoning
solution, Sasol Mining concluded the last of its
export production on 30 June 2025.
Sasolburg Operations
Upstream gas
Supplies the Sasol gas network
in South Africa with natural gas
produced from our onshore Petroleum
Production Agreement (PPA)
facilities, as well as the Production
Sharing Agreement (PSA). Gas is
imported from Mozambique via the
ROMPCO pipeline. Within South
Africa, our networks in KwaZulu-Natal
and Witbank-Middelburg are supplied
with methane-rich gas produced from
Secunda Operations.
Crude oil
We procure approximately 20 million
barrels of crude oil per annum from global
producers and traders as feedstock for
Natref, to produce petrol, diesel, jet fuel
and other refined products.
SASOL INTEGRATED REPORT 2025

Made up of three sites, namely Sasol
One, Midland, and Bunsen, where natural
gas and intermediate products from SO
are converted into various chemicals.
Natref
A deep-conversion refinery designed to
upgrade heavy, sour crude oil with high
sulphur content and yield about 90%
white products.
*ORYX GTL
Our 49% gas-to-liquids joint venture
with Qatar Energy. Uses gas-to-liquids
technology for converting natural gas
into liquid petroleum products with
design capacity of 32 400 barrels per
day.
Gas
