Poland's second biggest refiner Lotos may sign a long term deal on crude oil supplies from Iran, deputy CEO Marcin Jastrzębski announced during an economic forum in Krynica on Wednesday.
"More or less within a week we will know results of test runs of Iranian oil. If results are good, I'm convinced Lotos will sign a deal with Iranian NIOC," the official informed.
On August 14, Lotos received two million barrels of crude oil from Iran it had bought in a one-off purchase. The cargo was delivered by two carriers: the Atlantas Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), which set sail from Iran on June 27 and the calida carrier.
