Throughput
Economics
Two calculation modes: throughput margin (annual volume × per-litre margin) and storage revenue (capacity × turns per year × storage fee per kl). All outputs are indicative only — not investment advice.
Throughput Mode — Volume × Margin
1 Ml = 1,000,000 litres
Typical midstream depot margin: USD 0.04 – 0.09/litre (indicative)

Regulatory Framework
ZERA & the Midstream
Licensing Landscape
Chapter 13:23
ZERA Act
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority Act establishes ZERA as the sole licensing authority for petroleum infrastructure. No storage depot, pipeline or terminal may operate without a valid ZERA licence, renewed annually.
Chapter 13:22
Petroleum Act
Governs upstream and downstream segments, exploration rights, import/export authorisations and pricing regulations. Midstream infrastructure sits at the intersection — licences issued by ZERA reference the Petroleum Act.
Environmental Management Act
EIA Requirement
All new petroleum infrastructure requires a full Environmental Impact Assessment before construction. EMA issues an Environmental Certificate — a prerequisite for ZERA site approval.
Structuring Approach
Petroleum.co.zw Framework
We assist asset owners in navigating ZERA licence applications and EIA processes, then structure the asset into a USD-denominated SPV for co-investment. Regulatory baseline verified before any capital is committed.
