PIEA's mission is to be the centre in Eastern Africa for the advancement and dissemination of technical, economic and professional knowledge relating to the International Oil and Gas Industry, to act as a forum for all with interest in the Petroleum Industry for the advancement and safety of the Industry."

Following the liberalisation of the Kenyan Petroleum Sector in October 1994 and as the Industry moved from a self-regulating Industry to an open and aggressively competitive sector, it became increasingly obvious to all players, including Government, that a level playing field with rules governing all areas of business for all players, new and old, large and small, International and Local, corporate and individual entrepreneurs, was essential to safeguard all interests including the public's.

Kenya Petroleum Refinery Limited

The refinery is located in Mombasa. It is a topping and reforming refinery with a nameplate distillation capacity of 3300 ktonnes per annum (90,000 bpd).The refinery supplies refined products to Uganda and Northern Tanzania in addition to the Kenyan market.

Since deregulation of the Kenyan fuel market in October 1994, the refinery has been running at approximately 70% of pre-October levels in order to meet local demand for LPG, a product that could not be imported due to the lack of bulk handling facilities in Mombasa port. Some measure of protection has been afforded to the Refinery by the imposition of a special import tariff on gasoline and residual fuel oils.
