Re: license for methanol.

[Guest guest]

Dear alll

I am interested to know, what are all the statutory requirements (like

licence ) relating to storing, transporting " Crude oil " .

I am under the impression that it is falling under Petroleum Class A.

Am I right.

But there is no mention about crude oil directly in Petroelum act and

rules

Please clarify.

required to person who sells the methanol or whether it will require to all who

possess

and use methanol for manufacturing other chemicals also.

Pl. share your views.
