Partnership with SONABHY
October, 26 2012
Since May 16th 2012, Persoil is a partner with the Société Nationale Burkinabè des Hydrocarbures (SONABHY) for the storage of their petroleum products in the depots Bobo-Dioulasso and Bingo.
A contract agreement on the minimum sale of petroleum products is made on October 26, 2012 between Persoil and SONABHY. The agreement stipulates that the minimum volume sold per month will consist of 10 000 tonnes of petroleum products.
Expansion of activities in Burkina Faso causes an increase of diesel and gasoline consumption.
In order to meet these increasing needs in the country, Sonhaby reinforces its partnership, by making Persoil their main petroleum products provider.
This is achieved by developping extensively a transport corridor of refined products between Zinder refinery in Niger and Warehouses in Bobo-Dioulasso and Bingo.
The trust , here, granted by Sonhaby to Persoil is proof of seriousness and acknowledgement of our work.
