Unfortunately , given the impact of the pandemic , vendors everywhere are struggling with timely deliveries and material sourcing .

To repay the work they ’ ve done , we also take care of them . Often , I ’ ll invite them over here and strengthen our partnership with them ; that ’ s really important . It means we can all depend on each other , and when the market becomes turbulent , we have each other ’ s back .”
The oil industry is grappling with a dichotomous controversy at the moment . While being a primary fuel source , it is also nonrenewable , and those working within the industry are facing challenges regarding sustainability and alternative sources . “ The sector is quite politically controlled at the moment . On the other hand , everyone is making a push for electric cars , which also requires oil in the production . You still need steel , you still need massive trucks to move the materials across the country , so from my perspective , I believe the oil industry is here to stay , and that ’ s a fact that we need to be open about ,” he shares .
