Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. said on Friday it conducted fuel marking operations in its Northern Mindanao Import Facility in Cagayan de Oro City and the Tabangao Refinery in Batangas in 2019.
NMIF is the first terminal to implement fuel marking in Mindanao while the refinery is the country’s first refinery to undergo the program.
Representatives from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Bureau of Customs and the SGS-Sicpa fuel marking consortium were present to witness the event as the global energy company officially marked Shell’s high-quality diesel products on November 26. As of December 1, both the gasoline and diesel import tanks of NMIF’s 90-million-liter capacity were fully marked.
Following the rollout in Mindanao, Pilipinas Shell started the fuel marking process at its Tabangao refinery on December 11.
Pilipinas Shell is working “double-time” to install a fully automated injection system in both the NMIF and the refinery.
