Die belangrikste petroleumprodukte wat in Suid-Afrika verkoop word, is petrol, diesel, vliegtuigbrandstof, verligtingsparaffien, brandstofolie, bitumen en vloeibare petroleumgas (VPG). Petrol en diesel is die belangrikste vloeibare brandstof wat in Suid-Afrika gebruik word. Sowat 36 persent van die vraag word voorsien deur sintetiese brandstowwe (sinfuels), wat plaaslik vervaardig word, grootliks uit steenkool en van aardgas.

Produkte wat plaaslik uit ingevoerde ru-olie geraffineer word, voldoen aan die oorblywende 64%. Geraffineerde petroleumprodukte word volgens die volgende metodes vervaardig: ru-olie-raffinering; steenkool-tot-vloeistofbrandstowwe en gas-tot-vloeistofbrandstowwe (Sasol); en aardgas tot vloeibare brandstof (PetroSA).
Suid-Afrika het geen ruoliereserwes van sy eie nie en sowat 64% van sy brandstofproduksievoorraad is afhanklik van ruolievereistes wat deur invoer uit die Midde-Ooste en Afrika nagekom word. Daar is ses raffinaderye in die land – vier aan die kus en twee in die binneland (sien foto hieronder). Petroleumprodukte word verskuif vanaf raffinaderye deur pypleidings (sien kaart van pypleidings hieronder), spoor, see en pad na ongeveer 200 depots, 4 600 diensstasies en 100 000 direkte verbruikers wat meestal boere en ander grootskaalse industriële bedrywighede (mynbou) is. Daar is ook stasies wat onafhanklik bedryf word en sonder handelsmerke. BP Suider-Afrika, Chevron Suid-Afrika, Engen Petroleum, PetroSA, Sasol Oil, Shell Suid-Afrika en Total South Africa is die hoofrolspelers in die Suid-Afrikaanse oliebedryf.
Petroleumprodukte word deur pypleidings van raffinaderye verskuif (die pyplyn-infrastruktuur word besit en bedryf deur Transnet State Owned Company (SOC) raffinaderye en invoerders kontrakteer met die SOC vir transmissiedienste via sy infrastruktuur – wat ontwerp is om brandstof na en van Suid-Afrika se raffinaderye geleë te vervoer. groot sentrums en strategies na Suid-Afrika se belangrikste ekonomiese spilpunt – Johannesburg), spoor (ook besit en bedryf deur Transnet SOC), see (raffinadeerders kan vervoer kontrakteer deur middel van tyd- en reishandves van kustenkwaskepe, hetsy individueel of deur gesamentlike ondernemings met ander raffineerders) en padvervoer (deur middel van padtenkwaens wat besit of gekontrakteer is) na ongeveer 200 depots, 4 600 vulstasies en 100 000 direkte verbruikers – in die landbou- en mynbousektore.

The major petroleum products that are sold in South Africa are petrol, diesel, jet fuel, illuminating paraffin, fuel oil, bitumen and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Petrol and diesel are the major liquid fuels that are used in South Africa. About 36 percent of the demand is met by synthetic fuels (synfuels), which are produced locally, largely from coal and from natural gas. Products refined locally from imported crude oil meet the remaining 64%. Refined petroleum products are produced by the following methods: crude oil refining; coal-to-liquid fuels and gas-to-liquid fuels (Sasol); and natural gas to liquid fuels (PetroSA).
South Africa has no crude oil reserves of its own and about 64% of its fuel production stocks are dependent on crude oil requirements that are met by imports from the Middle East and Africa. There are six refineries in the country – four on the coast and two inland (see picture below). Petroleum products are moved from refineries by pipelines (see map of pipelines below), rail, sea and road to approximately 200 depots, 4 600 service stations and 100 000 direct consumers who are mostly farmers and other large scale industrial operations (mining). There are also stations that are independently operated and unbranded. BP Southern Africa, Chevron South Africa, Engen Petroleum, PetroSA, Sasol Oil, Shell South Africa and Total South Africa are the main players in the South African oil industry.
Petroleum products are moved from refineries by pipelines (the pipeline infrastructure is owned and operated by Transnet State Owned Company (SOC) refiners and importers contract with the SOC for transmission services via its infrastructure – designed to transmit fuel to and from South Africa’s refineries located at major centres and strategically to South Africa’s main economic hub – Johannesburg), rail (also owned and operated by Transnet SOC), sea (refiners may contract transport by means of time- and voyage charter of coastal tanker vessels, either individually or through joint ventures with other refiners) and road transport (by means of owned or contracted road-tankers) to approximately 200 depots, 4 600 service stations and 100 000 direct consumers – in the agricultural and mining sectors.
