Petroleum Ministry to pose fuel tender as alternative to Aramco contract in December
Talks with Saudi Arabia are ongoing to discuss Aramco's position on the 700,000-tonne monthly shipments contract
Mohamed Adel Published in Daily News Egypt on 22 - 11 - 2016

The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) proposed that a new tender be posed in December to cover the domestic market's needs of petroleum and to replace the suspended Saudi Aramco contract, until the Ministry of Petroleum concludes an agreement with another country with long-term payment facilities.
He added that Saudi Aramco has not notified the ministry as to whether it will resume supplying the 700,000-tonne shipments or cancel the contract between the EGPC and the Saudi company. He pointed out that the only response received from Aramco was that petroleum shipments would be suspended for an unidentified period, without providing any reasons, since October.
He added that Petroleum Minister Tarek El-Molla plans to discuss with his Saudi counterpart Khalid Al-Falih the position of Aramco's contract during the 14th Arab International Conference on Mineral Resources being held in Jeddah.
Aramco supplied $1.2bn worth of oil shipments over four months starting from May 2016, equivalent to 400,000 tonnes of diesel, 200,000 tonnes of gasoline, and 100,000 tonnes of fuel oil per month.
The EGPC agreed with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) on the supply of about 2m barrels of crude oil.
The Egyptian authority signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SOCAR to strengthen cooperation in a number of key areas including oil and gas industry.
The MoU also includes the implementation of many oil projects on the long term, and cooperation in infrastructure, liquefied gas and petrochemicals fields, as well as applying the Crude Oil-Refined Products Exchange Agreement.
The ministry also launched negotiations with Iraq to import shipments of crude oil in accordance with the agreement concluded in March with long-term payment facilities.
