  $55000000/5000=$11000 a barrel of crude oil? Where on the globe is crude oil sold at that rate? Poor journalism.

  The article says..."The Authority estimates that a turbine consumes about 5,000 barrels of crude in a day. This requires about US$55million every three weeks to purchase crude for powering thermal plants in the country." I infer fro this that the journalist is not making things up. He/she is reporting what management told them. Blame the dumb heads at VRA.
  
  Your mathematics is wrong. The figures above imply a turbine consumes 105000 (5000x7x3) barrels every three weeks. So the implied per barrel cost of crude is US$523.81 (55000000/105000)...don't blame the journalist your calculation is terribly flawed. I, however, agree with you that this cost per barrel is very expensive.
