OIL & GAS INDUSTRY.
1. Storage of LPG in Bulk.

Fabian Energy (K) Ltd. is desirous for Licensure by the Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) for Bulk Storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas. FEKL shall own and operate the proposed Fabian Terminal at Maya Island, Jaribuni ward, Kilifi County, Kenya. This shall be a 52,500 MT import terminal for Liquefied Petroleum Gas consisting of fifteen (15) LPG Horton Spheres each with a capacity of 3500 MT. The proposed Fabian Terminal shall be capable of berthing and unloading, simultaneously, two AFRA classified Coastal and/or Aframax LPG carriers.
Our intended customers in this business segment are Licensed importers of LPG, who may elect to use proposed Fabian Terminal as their warehouse of choice based on the services that we offer. Apart from a relatively lower storage cost per Kg. in comparison with our competitors, we shall also offer our customers unparalleled transparency by allowing real-time access to their wet stock balances through the Integrated Terminal Operations Management & Information System (TOPMISâ„¢), ample parking for LPG trucks, adequate facilities for truck drivers, and adequate fire fighting facilities. At FEKL we shall foster proactive engagements with our customers through monthly stakeholder engagement meetings, whereby we shall gather all of our customers for round-table discussions on their experiences and expectations in the Fabian Terminal. Through such meetings, we shall be able to make informed decisions as we articulate the needs of our customers in this business segment.
The proposed Fabian Terminal shall offer a one-stop solution for the LPG upstream value-chain. We have strategically positioned ourselves to address the constraints in the adoption of LPG as an alternative to wood fuel, by making capital investments in manufacturing, onshore receipt and storage, and filling of portable cylinders. By eliminating such capital investments, any investor in the LPG subsector only concentrates on downstream marketing and distribution of the product.
