Born out of the ancient AGIP Refinery and originally built in 1966, TIPER is now a vast storage terminal for petroleum products. After the closure of the refinery in 2000, the facilities that remained underwent major rehabilitation and improvement. TIPER enjoys a Bonded Warehouse Status. Which is key in attracting storage of large volumes of petroleum products. Stored products can be distributed to the domestic market, exported to neighboring countries or even re-exported by ship. TIPER is jointly owned by the Tanzanian Government and the Geneva based Oryx Oil & Gas Group, who are also responsible for the facilities management. A team of 61 experienced staff ensure constant customer satisfaction.

The plant was commissioned as an oil refinery in the 1960s. It was then known as the Tanzanian and Italian Petroleum Refinary Limited (TIPER), owned jointly by the GoT and Agip (Tanzania) Limited. [6] After the signing of the agreement in 1963, it was built by the Italian state-owned Eni between February 1965 and June 1966 at a cost of TSh 100 million. In 1969, the GoT purchased half of the shares. It was a small refinery with a capacity to process 600,000 tonnes per annum. [5]

Prior to the liberalisation of the petroleum industry in 1997, TIPER produced 30 percent of the local requirements and the rest was imported by the state-owned Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC). [7]

In 1991, under pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), operations ceased at the refinery to implement the country's Structural Adjustment Program. The IMF argued that it was operating at 60% of its capacity. [8]

In 1999, Swiss based Oryx Energies acquired Agip's assets in Tanzania. [9]

In 2012, the GoT was considering using the oil terminal as part of its national strategic petroleum reserve. [10]

In November 2014, the government as the silent partner, suggested that the firm be led by an independent team. Oryx Energies disagreed. [11] The firm expects to build new storage tanks and thereby increase its capacity by an additional 100,000 m3. [3]

Nigeria is the largest oil and gas producer in Africa. Crude oil from the Niger delta basin comes in two types: light, and comparatively heavy – the lighter has around 36 gravity while the heavier has 20–25 gravity. Both types are paraffinic and low in sulfur. Nigeria's economy and budget have been largely supported from income and revenues generated from the petroleum industry since 1960. Statistics as at February 2021 shows that the Nigerian oil sector contributes to about 9% of the entire GDP of the nation. Nigeria is the largest oil and gas producer in Africa, a major exporter of crude oil and petroleum products to the United States of America. In 2010, Nigeria exported over one million barrels per day to the United States of America, representing 9% of the U.S. total crude oil and petroleum products imports and over 40% of Nigeria exports.
