At a press conference on its foundation anniversary on Sunday, General Manager of Yemen LNG Company Francios Rafin said the company should take advantage of the difference of the prices in both continents.
Earlier, Rafin said Yemen has so far this year exported LNG shipments to ten world countries which buy LNG regularly including Chili, Mexico, England, Spain, Kuwait, India, Japan and China."These countries put our company as one of their favourite clients, providing it with the opportunity to increase sales prices and to continue building its reputation."What distinguishes the Yemeni LNG Project is that it is integrated from the pipelines, gas fields at the block 18 in Marib to gas tankers and exporting ports; and this helped the company be credible and famous, he said.93 per cent of Yemeni LNG sales are sold in line with daily global prices, he said, adding that only 7 per cent of the sales, mainly bought by KOGAS, are being traded under a fixed-price contract to protect Yemen and the company with respect to Asian market prices.About 85 per cent of the current staff of the company are Yemenis, he sad.
