Gas amendments

Gas amendments to allow for domestic use

Minister for Petroleum, Fabian Pok, says currently the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) Policy is currently before the NEC for endorsement.

He said if the policy is approved, it will pave way for legislative amendments to the Oil and Gas Act to ensure gas resources are also used for domestic consumption.

Gulf Governor, Chris Haiveta, informed Parliament this week that while the current legislation allowed for DMO, it worked in the interest of developers.
