Orlen Unipetrol to finish using borrowed oil from state reserves next week

Orlen Unipetrol oil company will complete pumping crude oil borrowed from the state reserves next week, according to Pavel Svagr, head of the State Material Reserves Administration. The company has been using the oil to maintain production at its Litvinov refinery after supplies through the Druzhba pipeline from Russia were interrupted. Deliveries via the TAL pipeline from Germany, part of the network transporting oil from the Italian port of Trieste, are set to begin once the borrowed supply runs out. Unipetrol will start replenishing the reserves in June, with plans to complete the process by the end of August. The loan covered up to 330,000 tonnes of crude oil.
