ORLEN strengthens ties with Saudi Aramco

​PKN ORLEN can import up to 800,000 tonnes of Saudi crude oil over six months under a contract signed with Saudi Aramco Products Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi oil producer. The contract is an important step that guarantees stability of supply to ORLEN’s refineries in Europe. Under a separate commercial contract, the supplier from Saudi Arabia has committed to purchase heavy fuel oil from ORLEN Lietuva.
