Petroleum Minister Fabian Pok

Petroleum licences under review

Speaking at the 3rd Petroleum and Energy Summit, Petroleum Minister Fabian Pok said this is to weed out any non-compliance in the licence awarding process.

The review covers all Petroleum Prospecting Licence (PPL), Petroleum Retention Licence (PRL) and Petroleum Development Licence (PDL).

The Minister announced that the review was to stop what he alleges are abuses within the licensing process.

“The abuse that have been common practice in the awarding of licences will not be tolerated anymore.
