Energy Business
The Energy Business operates integrated value chains with feedstock sourced from the Mining and Gas operating segments and processed
at our operations in Secunda, Sasolburg and Natref. There are also associated assets outside South Africa which include the Pande-Temane
Petroleum Production Agreement (PPA) in Mozambique and ORYX GTL (gas to liquids) in Qatar.
Mining
Mining is responsible for securing coal feedstock for the Southern African value chain, mainly for gasification, but also to generate electricity
and steam. Coal is sold for gasification and utility purposes to Secunda Operations, for utility purposes to Sasolburg Operations and to
third parties in the export market. Coal is supplied to Secunda Operations on arms-length terms and to Sasolburg operations based on a
long-term supply contract with inflation linked escalation. The price of export coal is based on the Free on Board Richards Bay index.
The date of delivery related to Mining is determined in accordance with the contractual agreements entered into with customers. These are
summarised as follows:
Delivery terms
Control passes to the customer
On delivery
At the point in time when the coal is delivered to the customer.
Free on Board
At the point in time when the coal is loaded onto the vessel at Richards Bay Coal Terminal; the customer is
responsible for shipping and handling costs.
Gas
The Gas segment reflects the upstream feedstock, transport of gas through the ROMPCO pipeline, and external natural and methane rich
gas sales.
Mozambican gas is sold under long-term contracts to both the Secunda and Sasol operations and to external customers. Condensate is
sold on short-term contracts. In South Africa, gas is sold under long-term contracts at a price determinable from the supply agreements in
accordance with the pricing methodology used by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA). Analysis of gas and tests of the
specifications and content are performed prior to delivery. Canadian gas is sold into the market at spot prices. Turnover from all gas sales is
recognised on delivery.
