Sudanese Advisor: The oil sector is witnessing a rapid renaissance
Economy News - Baghdad
The financial advisor to Prime Minister Mazhar Mohammed Saleh explained on Tuesday the positive effects resulting from the export launch of natural gas derivatives, while the oil sector is witnessing a rapid development renaissance.
Saleh said, in a statement followed by "Economy News" that "models of economic progress depend on export resources in order to advance the reality of development," noting that "work to diversify the economy is through the diversification of raw material products exported within high value-added chains that reflect positively on the current account of the balance of payments."
He added that "the export launch of a specific type of natural gas derivatives and the development in this direction has two important effects, including the optimal exploitation of some aspects of natural gas resources, which have been wasted by burning, especially the gas associated with oil production, as well as gradual mitigation and compensation for the cost of gas currently imported for specific purposes and used as fuel to operate electric power plants, which depend on natural gas derivatives itself."
He pointed out that "the oil sector today is witnessing an accelerated development renaissance, whether in diversifying products from crude oil or associated gas and natural gas, and generating high flexibility in the attribution of the country's financial resources, whether towards replacing imports of oil and gas products or promoting exports from them according to the calculations of balance between costs and benefits from import and export activities for various types of oil and gas derivatives," noting that it is "the optimal balance base that will be in the interest of the national economy, especially maximizing the country's financial revenues."
