This has over the years been achieved by offering the best in the nation’s interest, noted Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Kwame Osei-Prempeh.
A significant positioning in the market has been due to GOIL’s introduction of the upgraded, quality RON 95 Gasoline fuel sold at the same price to customers at all the company’s stations. This has been embraced significantly by consumers.
GOIL’s SUPER XP RON 95 is not only premium but is sold everywhere and at the same price as ordinary gasoline being sold on the market. In the same vein, GOIL’s DIESEL XP is also of premium quality with low-sulphur content or clean fuel, compared to others on the market. Indeed, Diesel XP with additives has and continues to ensure long life and protection of vehicles.
Similarly, GOIL markets premium lubricants. Some of the lubes are blended locally based on ENI SpA (formerly Agip Petroli) formulation at the Tema Lube Oil Company Limited. The rest are imported. A major breakthrough in the year 2000 was the supply of Mining diesel to Mining firms – an enclave hitherto the preserve of foreign competitors. GOIL also supplies aviation fuel to major airlines (local and international). A strategic alliance has also been formed with ENI SPA on safety, training and other related issues.
GOIL has the biggest Marine Gas Oil storage facilities at the Sekondi Naval Base and at Takoradi Harbour as well as Tema Port through the GBS storage facility, bunkering to both international and local fishing vessels and ships. GOIL is also the market leader in LP Gas and is embarking on the construction of five modern Auto Gas plants with enhanced safety features; meanwhile, the company has also begun building two LP Gas bottling plants in Tema and Kumasi under the National Gas Recirculation Programme.
In line with GOIL’s commitment to supporting government’s local content policy and building a resilient national economy, the company has taken steps to diversify its product range by constructing a US$35million Bitumen plant in Tema with SMB of La Cote d’Ivoire. The project is expected to be operational by end of first quarter 2022. Its operation will ensure the supply of higher-grade Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) to support government’s road network expansion and modernisation programme.
According to the Group Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Mr. Kwame Osei Prempeh, GOIL is playing a critical role in the Oil Marketing sector and relied upon by many state-owned institutions, agencies and other quasi-government departments; and will even play a bigger role in the economy, such as the road sector, after completion of the Bitumen project.
