Saudi Arabia set to allow fuel stations to sell LPG cylinders

11/01/2018 Argaam

Saudi Arabia's ministry of municipal and rural affairs will take the necessary procedures required for allowing qualified fuel station operators and major retailers to sell liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders after obtaining licenses within one year maximum.

The ministry instructed LPG suppliers to comply with the regulations related to the improvement of services and store locations, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

Other conditions include the establishment of gas distribution stores, as well as compliance with construction, ventilation, electricity and safety requirements.

In August, the Saudi cabinet approved the law of dry gas and LPG distribution for residential and commercial purposes, Argaam reported.

Tadawul-listed the National Gas & Industrialization Co. (GASCO), which is the licensed distributer of LPG, was required to comply with the new regulations within a period of 24 months.
