Orlen receives Iranian oil shipment

WSE-listed fuel group Orlen received the spot delivery of Iranian crude oil on Friday, the company said in a market filing. “Delivery from Iran has become a fact. Oil from the Middle East gives us many opportunities. First of all, it enables diversification of delivery directions and increases the energy security of the state,” the company said in a market filing. The 130k metric tons of oil arrived at the gas terminal in Gdańsk from the Kharg island. According to Orlen, the Iranian oil is lighter and contains less sulfur than its Russian equivalent.
