The 14,000 bpsd Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracker (RFCC) Unit converts atmospheric residue to higher-value finished products.

The refinery, situated in Tema, was originally named the Ghanaian Italian Petroleum (GHAIP) Company and incorporated as a private limited liability company under the Companies Ordinance (Cap 193) on December 12, 1960.

It was 100% owned by the ENI Group (Ente Nationalie Indrocarburi) of Italy.

The government of Ghana bought all the shares of GHAIP in April 1977 and became the sole shareholder.

In 1990, the name was changed to the Tema Oil Refinery.
