据路透社8月18日阿布贾报道，尼日利亚国家石油公司(NNPC)周日表示，在招标后，15家公司赢得了用该国原油换取燃料的权利。

NNPC 5月份表示，约有132家公司竞购这些交易。自10月1日起生效的一年期合同的招标，称为直接销售，直接购买(DSDP)，于3月份发布。

由于多年来对本国炼油厂的忽视，尼日利亚几乎完全依赖进口燃料。由于其他潜在的进口商因价格上限而难以赚钱，因此它大量倾向于互换安排以获取燃料，特别是汽油。

NNPC表示，中标的公司是由15家公司组成的财团，其中包括维托尔、托克、石油巨头BP以及当地的下游公司。

自该计划于2016年推出以来，取代了向进口商提供补贴的计划，NNPC表示已经为该国节省了22亿美元，并提供了约90％的进口需求。

Nigeria awards crude-for-product swap deals to 15 firms

Nigerian state oil company NNPC said on Sunday that 15 companies had won the right to swap the nation’s crude oil for fuels following a tender for the deals.

About 132 companies bid for the deals, Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC) said in May. The tender for the one-year contracts effective Oct. 1, dubbed direct sale, direct-purchase (DSDP), was issued in March.

Nigeria is almost entirely reliant on imported fuel because of years of neglect at its own refineries. It has leaned heavily on the swap arrangements to get fuel, particularly gasoline, as other would-be importers struggle to make money due to price caps.

NNPC said the companies that won the bids were made up of consortia of 15 companies including Vitol, Trafigura, oil major BP (BP.L) and local downstream companies.

Since the scheme was introduced in 2016, replacing a programme that paid subsidies to importers, NNPC has said it had saved the nation $2.2 billion and supplied some 90 percent of its import requirements.
