Sarki Auwalu
The Director/Chief Executive Officer, Department of Petroleum Resources, Engr. Sarki Auwalu, in this interview spoke about the achievements and strategic business plans of the regulatory agency. Obinna Chima brings the excerpts:
We would like to know if you engaged Addax Petroleum to find out the challenge they were having before the decision to revoke their licences was taken and what condition did you give to the new company that is taking over the assets?
First, there is no company that we do not have constant interaction with. The DPR is the lifeline of every oil and gas company in Nigeria. We assess their performance, we give them visibility, when they produce, we give them extra parlay, and we manage their reserves. So, the issue of interaction is there.
