DOE: First shipment of imported oil from non-OPEC sources to arrive this month

The Department of Energy (DoE) targets to receive in June the first shipment of oil from non-members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the secretary said.
“We are looking at other countries. Russia is just an option,” Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi told reporters.
He said the DoE’s commercial arm Philippine National Oil Co.-Exploration Corp. (PNOC-EC) “expects to receive the first shipment by end of June.” — Victor V. Saulon
