The oil and gas industry in Sierra Leone is highly competitive, with NP SL leading the way in the country’s market. NP SL has digitized its sales and is now moving towards cashless transactions. This transformation is making the Company more competitive, efficient, and the leading fuel dealer in the country.

The Company’s decision to embrace digitization is driven by the growing demand for petroleum and gas products due to an increasing population and industrialization. On April 24, 2024, NP SL unveiled its pilot phase of the Energy Pass Card. This innovative device aims to revolutionize the fueling experience and promote a cashless system. The main objectives of this new system are to drive towards a cashless solution, safeguard cash sales, achieve real-time fuel balance and ensure flexibility, self-service, availability, and accessibility of fuel nationwide.

The NP Energy Pass card is a user-friendly smart card that offers both online and offline usability, along with high-security features. It provides instant SMS notifications after every transaction to ensure transparency and accountability. NP SL is increasingly leveraging digital transformation to improve operational performance and accuracy, eliminating human error and making operations more efficient and risk-free. By leveraging the latest technologies, NP is able to gain greater insight into the full potential of their operations and make data-driven decisions.

With over 40 years of experience, NP SL has enjoyed dominance in market share position in Sierra Leone and has recently invested billions to rehabilitate a sophisticated Terminal facility in the country.The Company currently supplies over 80% of Government ministries, departments and agencies.

It is no secret that oil and gas will continue to be the main energy sources through 2040 as a result of the world’s growing need for primary energy. This is why, other oil marketing companies in Sierra Leone need to emulate NP’s footsteps to adapt to these changes to have a chance to compete in the local market by embracing new technologies or they will be left behind.
