DPR Raises the Alarm over Depot Owners Sourcing Products from Illegal Refineries - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The Department of Petroleum Resources has raised the alarm over alleged connivance of some depot owners in sourcing petroleum products from illegal oil refineries scattered across the Niger Delta region.
Mr. Asuquo, who spoke during the 2019 Annual General Meeting between DPR and the Depot and Petroleum Product Marketers Association in Warri, said “Investigation going on right now says clearly that some depot owners are into sharp practices, they are conniving with people that burn products in the creeks.
The meeting, according to him, was also to brainstorm on how to strengthen the existing mutual relationship and understanding between the regulatory agency and the operators which had led to value addition in the petroleum business, storage and transportation over the years. Asuquo advised them to always carry out periodic calibration of the measuring instruments for accuracy under the direct supervision of the officials of DPR and also advised them to have their floating rule safety device intact noting that they were dealing with highly inflammable products.
He warned the depot owners against selling petroleum product above the government approved ex-depot price of N133.28k per litre and also lifting products to unregistered companies for easy monitoring. The DPR Manager, Gas, Mr. Victor Ohwodiasa, said there was huge potential in the gas industry and urged the operators to leverage on the opportunity to expand their businesses.
