Gas Department
The Gas Department of the National Petroleum Authority is newly established, and handles all activities in the operations of natural gas, which stems from processing, storage, through transmission to distribution.
The Department regulates natural gas market activities by monitoring the operations of the gas market, encouraging new investments, introducing competition amongst potential market players by allowing Third Party Access to gas networks and available facilities under a fair and non-discriminatory basis, as well as ensuring that good quality service is provided by market players.
The department also performs all Pricing (economic) functions of the natural gas, as well as offering technical support and granting licenses and permits to all Service Providers that wish to undertake any natural gas activity.
