- NNPC Replaces Offshore Processing Arrangement: In a major steer designed to enshrine transparency and stem the trend of value lost to Federation, NNPC had replaced Offshore Processing Arrangement, OPA option in preference for the more efficient Direct Sale-Direct Purchase alternative. The new option allows for the direct sale of crude oil by NNPC as well as direct purchase of petroleum products from credible international Refineries thereby eliminating the activities of middlemen, in the crude oil exchange for product matrix. Thus only bona fide owners of Refineries identified in the ongoing OPA Tender Evaluation process will be further engaged.
