rafidainscope - The Crisis Cell at the Ministry of Oil held an extensive meeting to discuss mechanisms for supplying citizens with fuel by relying on national refineries. The cell emphasized the importance of sustaining the production process in the refineries and providing petroleum derivatives to beneficiaries to meet local demand. The meeting also addressed plans to increase production and storage capacity, as well as discussed export operations and projects to enhance the country's export capabilities. These moves come in response to a shortage of imported petroleum derivatives that has affected some governorates due to regional tensions impacting international shipping lanes.
