State-owned oil company Sonangol has clarified that it has not received any formal communication from Botswana regarding a potential stake in the $6.6 billion Lobito refinery project in Angola. This statement follows reports suggesting the landlocked nation was interested in securing a 30% share in the facility, which is designed to process 200,000 barrels per day once operational.
