During a presentation held on January 30, a series of objectives were outlined for the company, focusing on enhancing operational performance, strengthening financial stability, expanding geological exploration and increasing hydrocarbon reserves. The head of state was briefed on the implementation of these instructions.

Officials reported on steps being taken to optimize expenses across the company. The organizational structure of the central office has been reviewed and is undergoing streamlining.

In addition, prices for production services, goods and materials, as well as contract work, are being reassessed. Work has begun to restructure the company’s credit portfolio, while non core assets are being divested.
