Orlen contracts 16 extra crude cargoes for Poland, Czech, Lithuania refineries

Orlen has secured 16 additional crude oil deliveries for its refineries in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania, sourcing from Norway, the UK, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and the Americas. This diversification move reduces reliance on Russian oil, aligning with EU sanctions and energy security goals. The urgency suggests potential supply tightness or strategic stockpiling ahead of winter.
