COMPANY PROFILE -Sasol

Business Sector :Energy and Chemicals

Operating Geography :South Africa, Africa, Global

About Sasol :

Sasol is an energy and chemical producer headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is South Africa’s largest liquid fuels producer as well as its largest manufacturer of chemical products. Founded in 1950, Sasol was set up using public funds from the South African Industrial Development Corporation. The firm initially operated factories built by the Germans in WWII to provide fuel for its military forces in Africa.
In 1970, Sasol was partly privatized in order to raise capital for a third plant. In the early 2000s Sasol began international operations. It was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2003 which was followed by investments into facilities in Qatar and a joint venture in Malaysia. Sasol also began pursuing exploration in Canada and the United States. Sasol’s Lake Charles Chemical Plant (LCCP) based out of Louisiana is its largest foreign investment. The plant was supposed to be operational in the first quarter of 2019, however it is currently facing prolonged delays and cost overruns, driving up costs and pushing forward its initiation.
In 1996 South African operations accounted for about 77% of Sasol’s revenue which fell to 46% in 2014 with the advent of international operations. However, operations in South Africa still contribute the majority of the firm’s profits. Sasol has a very diverse product portfolio ranging from fuel for vehicles and aviation, energy for households and businesses, natural gas, high value chemicals and petrochemical by-products such as wax and surfactants. Its value chain is vertically integrated to a large extent as Sasol has captive coal and natural gas mines and oxygen production units supplying critical raw materials at low cost of procurement. The firm also purchases crude oil, paraffin, ethylene from the global market as feedstock for its production processes. Sasol has over 31,000 employees globally as of 2020.
Sasol’s vision as per the company website is “To be a leading integrated global chemical and energy company, proudly rooted in our South African heritage, delivering superior value to our stakeholders”.

Weakness

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Opportunity

1. Upstream Exploration in Mozambique: Sasol is looking increase its upstream exploration and feedstock production through its strategic Production Sharing Agreement license (PSA) with Mozambique. The firm first commenced its drilling operation is Mozambique in May 2016. The PSA is an integrated project for LPG, gas & oil and is the nerve center of Sasol’s oil and gas strategy in Africa. Currently, Phase 1 and 2 of the PSA projects have been completed yielding 7 oil wells and 4 gas wells. The upstream project will help augment the owned hydrocarbon feedstock of Sasol and reduce its dependence on purchased feedstock in its Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) process. In addition, Sasol is evaluating options for upstream exploration and production in West Africa where it can benefit from lower costs of entry and balance sheet flexibility.

2. Strong growth rate expected in the world chemicals market: Sasol’s chemical business wing is by far its most profitable, making up over 60% of the company’s turnover. This makes Sasol particularly susceptible to trends in the global chemical market. The market outlook for specialty and base chemicals looks strong as Sasol expects the global revenue from “basic” chemicals to rise by 4.4% CAGR by 2021 (3.5% by 2030) while global revenues from “specialty chemicals” to grow by 5.6% CAGR by 2030. Basic chemicals constitute 18% of Sasol’s revenue with 3.1 million tons sold per annum worldwide. Polyethylene and polypropylene licensed technologies form the backbone of the basic chemicals business. Specialty (Performance) chemicals constitute 32% of Sasol’s revenue, with sales of over 3.5 million tons worldwide.
