I identified ASEAN's capability to support the global supply chain of #OWF project and based on a case study of a completed project, I found that most of the supply/service is categorized as Tier 3. The Tier is determined by referring to Technical Report on Demand of #OWF Supply Chain (#NREL, 2022). If you were keen to validate this finding, I am more than happy to discuss.

People who were involved in the recent unrest in Port Moresby should have been apprehended for their involvement in criminal activities such as break-ins, looting, and theft of property. It is essential for law enforcement agencies to perform their duties diligently to restore public and investor confidence. The individuals who pretended to volunteer to return stolen items should have been arrested, as they were likely part of the looting and criminal behavior. The fact that these items were stolen in the first place raises questions about the effectiveness of our law enforcement system. It is disheartening to see taxpayer money, time, and resources wasted on an exercise that may not yield the desired results. Rather than blaming authorities for the protests, riots, and looting, the government should focus on addressing the root causes of these issues. My thoughts are with the affected business owners who have suffered immensely. I hope and pray that the authorities can identify and bring justice to the few individuals responsible for the looting. #Justice #CPL #PNG #Looting #Appeal #Assistance #identifying #criminals #Culprits #Restore #Peace #Trust #Confidence #OneNation #OneCountry #PNG

Saudi Aramco Makes Landmark Entry into Pakistan's Fuel Retail Market with 40% Stake Acquisition in Gas & Oil Pakistan Ltd. In a significant development, Saudi Aramco, a global leader in integrated energy and chemicals, has taken a groundbreaking step into Pakistan's fuel retail sector by securing agreements to purchase a 40% stake in Gas & Oil Pakistan Ltd. (GO). The deal, inked on Tuesday, marks a strategic move for Aramco, diversifying its downstream operations and entering a new market. Earlier in the quarter, there were reports of Saudi Aramco's interest in acquiring Shell Pakistan's assets. However, the deal fell through, and the assets were eventually acquired by Saudi energy company Wafi Energy. The unexpected entry into the Pakistani market through the acquisition of GO showcases Aramco's adaptability and determination to establish a significant presence in the region. The acquisition of GO, a prominent player in the downstream fuels, lubricants, and convenience store sector, serves as Aramco's inaugural venture into Pakistan's fuel retail landscape. Key Aspects of the Deal: This strategic investment is designed to enhance Aramco's international downstream value chain while providing GO with a substantial competitive advantage in the market. As one of the largest retail and storage companies in Pakistan, GO boasts a diversified portfolio of services. The completion of the deal is subject to standard conditions, including regulatory approvals, aligning with Aramco's global strategy to expand its downstream operations. This move follows Aramco's acquisition of Valvoline Inc.'s global products business in February 2023, indicating a consistent focus on growing its integrated refining, marketing, lubricants, trading, and chemicals portfolio worldwide. Impact on Pakistan's Downstream Oil Sector: Aramco's foray into Pakistan's downstream oil sector is expected to bring transformative changes by introducing global expertise and innovative solutions. The deal underscores the strategic importance of Pakistan in Aramco's international growth trajectory. With over 1200 retail outlets, GO stands as the largest private-sector retail outlet operator in Pakistan. Its extensive network includes oil storage depots and terminals capable of holding approximately 200,000 MTs of fuel. Furthermore, GO's commitment to innovation is evident through its introduction of Electric Vehicle Chargers at outlets in 2020. In summary, Saudi Aramco's acquisition of a significant stake in GO signifies a major milestone in the global energy giant's expansion strategy, demonstrating its commitment to fostering growth and innovation in Pakistan's fuel retail market. #pakistan #energyindustry #petroleumindustry #oilandgasindustry #oilmarkets #retail
