They discussed procedures to increase oil and gas production and developments in Yemen. Hadi stressed the importance of taking urgent steps to boost the national economy, pointing to the good relationship between Yemen and Total. Furthermore, he urged to treat associated gas burned at the block 10 to produce liquefied gas for power generation and to find new ways to market Yemeni gas for better prices. The meeting came as thousands of cars are still parked on main streets waiting to fill their tanks with petrol or diesel amid the severe fuel crisis. |
