The conviction · Refining & Distribution

The value of a barrel is not measured at the well. It is measured at the pump — where Chadians live.

Processing locally, distributing at the fairest price, right through to the areas imports neglect: that is where the national resource becomes purchasing power again.

Processing and distributing as close as possible to Chadians

Refining & Distribution brings energy closer to the citizen: AI-driven modular mini-refineries, a target station network and Mobile Stations™, at the ARSAT price everywhere — including where imports never reach. From the depot to the pump, the value stays in Chad.

Our offerings & expertise

From the depot to the pump: distribution & services

Everything in plain sight — distribution services, the resources behind them and what you gain.

Services

  • Fuel distributionDiesel, petrol, LPG in cylinders & bulk: regional depots, dedicated fleet, batch traceability from the depot right to the pump.
  • Services for businessSecure supply for mines, construction, telecoms and fleets: on-site tanks, framework contracts, consolidated invoicing, on-call delivery.
  • Station networkApproved Tchadium stations and Mobile Stations™ deployable in 24-48 h: fuels, shop and local services.
  • Modular mini-refiningModular, removable units as close as possible to the fields: diesel, petrol, kerosene and fuel oil produced locally (targeted).
  • Storage & depotsRegional strategic depots, metrological metering, bunding standards: the buffer stock that smooths out supply breaks.
  • Transport & logisticsDedicated tanker fleet, route planning, on-board telematics: delivering at the best litre-kilometre cost, safely.
  • LPG & fuelwood substitutionDeposit cylinders and bulk LPG: replacing household fuelwood and preserving forest cover.

Resources & guarantees

  • Near-national coverageUrban and rural, right through to isolated areas (targeted).
  • Delivery capacityDedicated fleet, 24-48 h deployment (targeted).
  • Modular mini-refineriesProcessing as close as possible to demand (targeted).
  • Brand & networkTchadium, a house of local brands designed for Chadians — from the tank to everyday life.
  • Data & digitalTank telemetry, batch tracking and station supervision, operated with the TchadiTech pole.

What you gain

  • Regulated price everywhereThe ARSAT tariff, even in isolated areas.
  • Quality & traceabilityProducts to specification, batch tracking.
  • Customer proximityEnergy goes to the customer, at the same price.
  • Local contentStation jobs, partner managers and Chadian subcontracting: the distribution margin stays in the country.
  • Supply continuityStrategic stocks and targeted local production: less dependence on imports, fewer queues.

Quality through partnership

Coming out of refining, EnerTchad will develop its ranges — fuels, lubricants and bitumens — in technical partnership with recognised producers and laboratories, for quality that meets international standards in every batch.

  • Co-developmentFormulate our products — lubricants, additives, fluids — with proven partners, for performance suited to Chad’s climate and equipment.
  • EOR inputsRecovery chemistry (ASP, surfactants, polymers) co-developed, with qualified local feedstocks — to make crude flow, reliably.
  • Quality controlSpecifications, tests and lot-level traceability with partner laboratories — quality verified before every delivery.
  • Targeted certificationsAn ISO 9001 approach and product standards; supplier qualification and audits — reliability through the system.

Refining & Distribution · At the service of Chadians

Bringing energy closer to every Chadian.

Refining & Distribution processes and distributes as close as possible to the citizen — this is where the chain becomes a product useful every day.

Who it is for

Individuals, fleets & industry

Everyone who needs reliable, affordable energy, right through to the territories imports have left behind.

Our answer

From the depot to the pump

Modular mini-refineries, the Tchadium network and Mobile Station™, at the ARSAT price everywhere.

The targeted gain

Energy close to home

Purchasing power preserved and the value of the crude kept in the country.

Our approach

Close, regular, traceable: the Refining & Distribution method

Five principles guide every decision of the pole — from the choice of a depot site to the price shown at the pump. A method designed for a vast, landlocked country where energy is missing exactly where people live.

01

Producing as close as possible to demand

Modular, removable mini-refineries near the fields: processing on site rather than importing, cutting the trucks on the corridor and the logistics cost of every litre (roadmap objective).

02

Bringing energy closer to the customer

The Tchadium network, Mobile Stations™ deployable in 24-48 h, approved resellers: the same fuel, to specification, at the ARSAT regulated tariff — right through to isolated areas.

03

Securing through stock

Regional strategic depots and buffer stocks sized to the seasons: smoothing out the supply breaks that create the queues and the parallel market.

04

Substituting with LPG

Deposit cylinders and bulk LPG for households and craft businesses: every cylinder adopted is less fuelwood burnt and forest cover preserved.

05

Tracing quality end to end

Batch tracking from the depot to the pump, checks against specifications, quality partnerships: the customer knows what goes into their tank, everywhere, all the time.

Use cases · Refining & Distribution

From the real problem to the EnerTchad response

Five concrete situations from Chad’s oil sector, and how EnerTchad intends to answer them — as targets, at the pace of the stages.

  1. Case 01

    Challenge

    Imported fuel, expensive and far away

    Chad exports its crude and re-imports its fuels.

    EnerTchad response

    Modular & removable mini-refinery (500–2,000 b/d) — refining close to the fields.

    Target

    Fuel produced in-country, at the ARSAT price

  2. Case 02

    Challenge

    Remote areas with no station

    Entire regions are still cut off from access to fuel.

    EnerTchad response

    Tchadium + Mobile Stations™ — a target network down to the last kilometre.

    Target

    Opening up the regions at the fair ARSAT price

  3. Case 03

    Challenge

    Associated gas flared

    The flare burns a resource while the country goes short of energy.

    EnerTchad response

    Associated gas put to use: LPG, site power, chemical inputs.

    Target

    The flare becomes a profit centre

  4. Case 04

    Challenge

    Fuel quality not guaranteed

    Imported fuel sometimes arrives off-specification, with no traceability.

    EnerTchad response

    Batch quality control, laboratory and traceability all the way to the pump.

    Target

    Compliant fuel · trust restored

  5. Case 05

    Challenge

    Informal and adulterated market

    Parallel channels move dubious and dangerous fuel.

    EnerTchad response

    The official Tchadium network at the ARSAT price, quality traced and guaranteed.

    Target

    A legal, safe channel at a fair price
