Orlen looking for alternative sources of oil
Orlen said crude oil deliveries to its refineries remain uninterrupted despite supply disruptions in Saudi Arabia linked to the Middle East conflict. Reuters reported that the company is seeking alternative supplies from the North Sea, the United States and Kazakhstan after attacks disrupted Saudi oil infrastructure. Orlen reportedly launched at least five purchase tenders over two business days and bought several North Sea cargoes. Saudi Aramco supplies approximately 40% of the crude processed by Orlen’s refineries.
The company declined to discuss individual transactions, saying it continuously adjusts purchases to maintain operations. Its supply strategy also includes production in Norway, supporting refineries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.
