Concord Oil Ltd is to pay a total fine of GHS65,000.00. This comprises GHS10,000.00 for violating UPPF regulations, GHS5,000.00 each for four (4) counts of engaging in third-party supplies and GHS5,000.00 each for seven (7) counts of lifting Petroleum products without cross-zonal authorization.

NPA Cautions Companies that Fails to Comply

The NPA cautioned that any company that fails to comply with the approved rules and regulations stipulated by the Authority would be subjected to further sanctions. The UPPF ensures that prices of petroleum products are the same across the country.

In the beginning of the year, the National Petroleum Authority sanctioned four Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for engaging in illicit third-party trading and unlawful lifting of petroleum products. Per the sanction, Finest Oil was made to pay a fine of GH¢160,000 comprising GH¢10,000 for engaging in third-party supplies for the first time and GH¢150,000 for the unlawful lifting of petroleum products.

In the case of Petro XP, they paid a fine of GH¢340,000 comprising GH¢10,000 for engaging in third-party supplies for the first time and GH¢330,000 for the unlawful lifting of petroleum products. Glasark Oil was also fined GH¢95,000 comprising GH¢10,000 for engaging in third-party supplies for the first time and GH¢85,000 for the unlawful lifting of petroleum products. Again, Lilygold Resources Limited was also made to pay a fine not exceeding five (5) times the licence/permit fee for breaking the Authority’s seals.
