New GMD, NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru “A deficit of N26.51billion and N24.18billion were recorded for the months of June and July 2016 respectively. The net cash flow improved by 8.77 per cent or N2.32billion in July 2016. This improvement was largely due to increase in revenue stream from NPDC and PPMC, despite the upsurge in upstream and downstream vandalized points. “NPDC, substantial portion of crude oil sales for the month estimated to be in excess of N27 billion could not be realised due to Force Majeure declared by SPDC as a result of the vandalised 48-inch Forcados export line.” ”ŽCommenting on the performance of the refineries, the NNPC, “The combined value of output by the three refineries, at import parity price, for the month of July 2016 amounted to ₦20.09 billion while the associated crude plus freight cost was ₦19.31 billion, giving a surplus of ₦0.780 billion after considering overhead of ₦7.38 billion. “Despite these challenges, such as irregular crude supply and impact of pipeline vandalism, the domestic refineries have a consolidated positive cash flow for the month under review due to favourable products price variance and ongoing restoration of the refineries.”Ž”
