The Minister of Oil and Minerals in the Sanaa government, Ahmad Daris, revealed, on Saturday, that he had learned from sources about vigorous efforts by the US-backed and Saudi-led coalition of aggression and their mercenaries to restart the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project with the approach of winter.

Dares stressed that the Sanaa government "will not allow the LNG project to be restarted unless its return is in the interest of all the Yemeni people," condemning "the looting of this national wealth while the Yemeni people suffer from the interruption of salaries."

The Minister added that "had these looted revenues were provided to Yemeni banks, it would have been possible to disburse the salaries of employees in all of Yemen."

Dares pointed out that "crude oil products are smuggled and exported through several ports, namely Bir Ali, Nishtun, Al-Daba and Qena," calling for "handing over the management of the oil, gas and mineral sectors to the Sanaa government," adding that, "We are committed before everyone to pay the salaries of all Yemenis."

He further noted that "the government of the mercenaries of aggression has reduced the allocations of the liberated areas of gas," warning all oil companies operating in Yemen and calling on them to abide by the agreements involved in production.

He also stressed that "the Sanaa government monitors around the clock all the movements of the aggression coalition and their mercenaries in the oil sectors and will take the appropriate and necessary measures to preserve the rights of the Yemeni people."

The Minister of Oil and Minerals called on "the United Nations to quickly fulfill its obligations regarding the FSO Safer vessel to avoid any catastrophic environmental repercussions in the Red Sea," indicating that "despite the existing truce, the coalition of aggression is still holding nine fuel ships until this moment, again, demanding their release and the implementation the terms of this alleged truce."

Regarding gas production, Dares says that the FSO Safer produces 83 home gas trailers per day, with a total of 2,490 per month. The total amount of gas, per month, gets transferred into 5.4 million gas cylinders whose revenues are valued at 12.7 billion riyals per month.

The minister further indicated that in February of this year, FSO Safer increased the price of gas cylinders to 3,567 riyals per cylinder, bringing its revenues to 19.1 billion riyals per month.

A few days ago, a source in the Yemeni Ministry of Oil and Minerals in the Sanaa government, told Al Mayadeen, "an oil tanker approached the Al-Nashima port in Shabwa governorate, in order to loot huge quantities of Yemeni crude oil."

Furthermore, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, said earlier that "All oil and gas revenues are now looted by the coalition of aggression, thieves, and occupiers, while traitors are eating part of it."

The head of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mahdi Al-Mashat, condemned "the coalition mercenaries' looting of the Yemeni people's wealth and depositing its sum in the National Bank of Saudi Arabia."
