The conviction · Petrochemicals
A barrel is not worth only its fuel.
Its molecule is worth fertiliser, methanol, polymers — made in Chad. From gas flared today to higher-value derivatives, Petrochemicals closes the chain: replacing imports with local production, from the bag of fertiliser that feeds the field to the inputs that make crude flow. A phased industry, from the most mature to the most capital-intensive.
The molecule transformed, the inputs in Chad
Petrochemicals closes the loop: turning associated gas and crude into higher-value products — gas-to-fertiliser, methanol, sulphur, polymers — and supplying the local inputs that make EOR optimal. Fewer imports, more value created on site.

Our offers & expertise
From gas and crude, higher-value products
Each family in plain sight — target molecules, uses and imports replaced.
Molecules & products
- Nitrogen fertilisersFrom Sédigui gas to urea and NPK: feeding Chadian soils without depending on imports — the complex’s first market.
- Methanol & derivativesThe platform molecule: solvents, formaldehyde, cleaner fuels — the backbone of the upgrading phase.
- Household LPGHousehold butane replacing wood energy: a mature line, distributed by the Refining & Distribution.
- Bitumen & sulphurRoads and industry: turning heavy fractions and refinery sulphur into value instead of a burden.
- PolymersPP, PE, PVC on the long horizon — the most capital-intensive stage, backed by targeted production volumes.
Production chemistry
- EOR chemistry — local ASPAlkali (natron), surfactants (neem), polymers: the inputs that make crude flow, formulated in Chad for the Exploration & Production.
- Flow treatmentAnti-corrosion, anti-scaling, demulsifiers: protecting wells, lines and tanks along the whole chain.
- Quality through partnershipStandards, licences and quality control with established technology partners — before the first tonne is sold.
Quality through partnership
EnerTchad will make chemistry an extension of Refining & Distribution — EOR inputs, lubricants and derivatives — co-developed with recognised laboratories, for quality that meets international standards.
- 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.
Petrochemicals · The molecule turned to value
Turning gas and crude into local value.
Petrochemicals extends the chain: adding value in country to a molecule that is exported or flared today.
Who it is for
Industry, agriculture & the domestic market
Everyone who imports today products that Chad could manufacture.
Our answer
Adding value to gas & crude
Fertiliser, methanol, LPG, bitumen and sulphur from Sedigui gas and crude fractions (targets).
The targeted gain
Value captured in Chad
Local added value and reduced import dependence.
Our approach
Anchored, sequenced, substitutive: the Petrochemicals method
Five principles guide the fourth link — the molecule transformed in Chad rather than exported crude, at the pace capital allows.
01
Anchor chemistry to the Refining & Distribution
No stand-alone plant: the complex is born from refined-crude fractions and Sédigui gas — the feedstock is already there, and so is the logistics.
02
Sequence from ripest to most capital-intensive
Three phases: mature lines first (LPG, nitrogen fertilisers), then upgrading (methanol, sulphur, bitumen), then polymers — each stage funds the next.
03
Substitute imports, line by line
Each unit targets an identified Chadian import — fertiliser, bitumen, LPG, solvents — and keeps the value of transformation in the country.
04
The chemistry that makes crude flow
EOR inputs formulated from local resources (ASP: natron, neem) serve the Exploration & Production — Petrochemicals is not one more downstream, it is a barrel multiplier.
05
Quality through partnership
Licences, standards and technology partners chosen before the first train — industrial credibility precedes the first tonne.
Use cases · Petrochemicals
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.
- Case 01
Challenge
Sedigui gas under-valued
A gas field lies idle instead of creating downstream value.
EnerTchad response
The gas → ammonia → urea and NPK stream: the molecule turned into fertiliser.
Target
Agricultural sovereignty · fertiliser produced in country
- Case 02
Challenge
Co-products with no outlet
Refining and processing generate sulphur and residues that are lost today.
EnerTchad response
Valorisation into bitumen, sulphur, chemical derivatives — nothing is wasted.
Target
Co-products turned into revenue
- Case 03
Challenge
Imported EOR inputs
Recovery chemistry comes from far away: expensive, slow, dependent.
EnerTchad response
Surfactants and polymers co-developed from local natron.
Target
Sovereign EOR inputs · costs under control
- Case 04
Challenge
Bitumen imported for the roads
The country imports its bitumen to build and maintain its roads.
EnerTchad response
Bitumen from refining residues — produced in country, as close as possible to the worksites.
Target
Chadian bitumen for infrastructure
- Case 05
Challenge
Dependence on imported fertiliser
Agriculture depends on expensive fertiliser hauled from very far away.
EnerTchad response
Urea/NPK chain on Sedigui gas — fertiliser produced at the local price.
Target
Sovereignty in agricultural inputs
