                    [Summary] => Oil companies are urging the Department of Energy (DOE) to address four major concerns confronting the oil industry today.


In a closed-door general membership meeting recently, the Philippine Institute of Petroleum, Inc. (PIP) informed newly-appointed Energy Secretary Vincent Perez of the prevailing issues in the industry, particularly the requirements of the Clean Air Act, supply security, how oil deregulation should work, and the controversial proposal for a National Oil Exchange (NOEC).

The day will come soon when the gas station as we know it will disappear and in
its place, filling stations in parking lots will sprout. All the talk about a
competitive market in petroleum products gives the impression that the local
oil companies are locked in deadly combat with each other. Perhaps that might
be true in some ways in the industrial market, but in the retail market, it is
the lowly gasoline station dealer who carries the brunt.

This is the totally Filipino side of the petroleum business.

government regulation of oil prices could have prevented the prices of
gasoline, diesel and other oil products from going up. Nothing could be farther
from reality.
