据路透社2月23日消息称，尼日利亚国家石油公司(NNPC)发言人对路透社表示，该公司已将与私营企业的原油交换燃料合同延长至6月。
这是为期一年的合同的第二次延长，该合同原定于2020年10月到期，将与15家公司合作，每天交换超过30万桶原油。
NNPC发言人Kennie Obateru周一说：“ DSDP被延长至2021年6月，使我们能够结束正在进行的建立新合同的过程。”
去年12月，NNPC发布了一份名为“直接销售、直接购买(DSDP)”的新合同招标。这份令人垂涎的互换协议提供了尼日利亚几乎全部的汽油，以及部分柴油和航空燃料，以换取原油。
尼日利亚去年取消了汽油的价格上限，但NNPC对出厂价的控制使私营公司很难在进口燃料中获利，从而使政府成为唯一供应商。

Nigeria Extends Oil-For-Fuel Swap Contracts Until June: NNPC
Nigerian state oil company NNPC has extended until June its contracts with private companies to swap crude oil for fuels, a company spokesman told Reuters.
That’s the second extension of the one-year contracts to exchange more than 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) with 15 company pairings, which had been set to expire in October 2020.
“The DSDP was extended till June 2021 to enable us conclude the ongoing process of putting new contact in place,” NNPC spokesman Kennie Obateru said on Monday.
NNPC issued a tender for new contracts, known as direct sale, direct purchase (DSDP), in December last year. The coveted swaps supply nearly all of Nigeria’s gasoline, and some of its diesel and jet fuel, in exchange for cargoes of crude oil.
Nigeria eliminated pump price caps for gasoline last year, but NNPC controls over ex depot pricing have made it tough for private companies to make money importing the fuel, leaving the government as the sole supplier.
