Czech refineries requested oil from reserves due to problems with Druzhba

Czech oil refineries have requested a resource from state reserves against the background of the suspension of supplies of Russian raw materials through the Druzhba pipeline. This was announced on March 5 by Pavel Kaidl, representative of Orlen Unipetrol.

"We have applied to the state administration of material reserves with a request to provide us with an oil loan," the newspaper quoted him as saying href="https://domaci.hn.cz/c1-67641380-ropa-z-druzby-znovu-netece-unipetrol-pozada-o-pujcku-z-rezerv-ropovod-tal-je-ale-pripraveny " target="_blank">Hospodarske noviny.

Kaidl stressed that currently the production of automotive fuel at Orlen Unipetrol plants is carried out in full, but the company expressed a desire to be safe in order to ensure supply without interruptions.

At the same time, it is specified that Orlen Unipetrol refineries operate without restrictions. It is noted that the Czech Republic is "well prepared for this situation."
