– Before the outbreak of the war we diversified by 50 percent. Crude oil supply to the Orlen system. We’ve been working on this for several years in order to get a decent portfolio of grades of oil. We have studied more than a hundred species of them. Now, when the war broke out, our refineries in Mažeikiai do not buy Russian oil at all. Today 70 percent. Crude oil in our system comes from outside Russia – said the head of PKN Orlen on TVP Info.
Daniel Obajtik noted that the Orlin system covers not only Poland, but also Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.
He added that the company is ready for full diversification, but what is needed here is European unity.
