Oil & Petroleum Industry Dynamics

The oil and petroleum industry of Bangladesh is mostly under the control of Government. With a view to providing petroleum products to all consumers at equal price irrespective of transportation cost, the government established Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) by a presidential Ordinance in 1976. Presently BPC is composed of three oil marketing companies, two blending plants, one LPG bottling company and a refinery as its subsidiaries.

The production, processing, refining and marketing of petroleum Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) products in the country is vested exclusively with the Government of Bangladesh as per the Bangladesh Petroleum Act, 1974. The Petroleum Act also specifies the authorities, Marketing Petroleum Lubricant LP Gas functions and responsibilities of BPC including establishment of Companies Refinary Blending Bottling plants & infrastructure, building necessary facilities and their extensions for marketing of petroleum products; monitoring POCL Eastern Eastern LP Gas Ltd. coordination of the subsidiary companies of BPC and any other Refinery Ltd Lubricants JOCL Blending Ltd functions and responsibilities as directed by the government.

Marketing of petroleum products is responsibility of three oil marketing companies namely Padma Oil Company Limited (POCL), Jamuna Oil Company Limited (JOCL), and Meghna Source: Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) Petroleum Limited (MPL).

At present only about 30% of the market demand of the lubricant products are served by the three oil marketing companies. It is notable here that BPC has no price control on the lubricants products. The pricing structure is settled by the Government at ex-refinery level, depots level, and also at consumer level in different distances. The commission at each level of suppliers namely oil marketing companies, agents, dealers are also fixed by the Government. As per the requirement of the state, the Government of Bangladesh imports crude oil and refined oil, then the crude oil is refined through Eastern Refinery Ltd. (ERL), another subsidiary of BPC and distributed through its oil marketing companies. There exists some special arrangement among the three oil marketing companies with a few direct customers. Among the direct customer groups, there are some Government organizations (PDB, , and Defense Service), autonomous body ( Port Authority, BIWTA, Bangladesh Ordnance Factory) and nationalized industries etc. The oil marketing companies are engaged in marketing of oil products and the income it earns is termed as ‘Margin’ that is fixed by and determined by the Government.

Government supplies almost all of the petroleum demand through import from various countries to support the energy need in transportation, power generation, agricultural activities and others. Import of petroleum has been increased in year 2016. Improvement in generation has a big impact on diesel consumption by the irrigation pump. Now a huge number of pumps operate with electricity which earlier used to consume diesel. In upcoming year we can expect increase in petroleum import as government has issued permission for setting up power plants where most of them will be furnace oil based.

Private Initiatives’ Access to Import Fuel Oil

In 2011, the Government opened import of fuel oil for electricity generation under the private initiative. Such decision and its implementation has curbed down the potential revenue earning avenue for BPC. There are currently 19 power plants who use furnace oil for electricity generation with a combined capacity of 2,792 MW. A total of 14 electricity producers arrange their own fuels taking advantage of nine percent service charges as well as tax waiver facilities on around 1.3 million tonnes of furnace oil. On August 7, 2017 the permission to import fuel oil without tax by 5 power plants was signed by the Power Division. Such decision will further adversely impact BPC since the demand for fuel oil will be met by import and BPC will miss out the opportunity of utilizing the existing demand. The importer will be able to procure fuel oil at BDT 22 per litre against the BPC’s price of BDT 42 per litre.
