Poles refused to pump bad Russian oil and close the gates

Poland has stopped the transit of oil through the pipeline Druzhba, the Belarusian side has received the corresponding telephone message from the company PERN (operator of the Polish section of Friendship). "We have received a letter from PERN stating that refineries in Poland and Germany can not receive or process oil with the indicators as it currently arrives at the delivery point of Adamovo", – said chief engineer BelTA of Gomeltransneft Druzhba OJSC Andrei Verigo.

"At 22 hours, Warsaw time (23 hours, Minsk time), on April 24, they suspended the selection, that is to say, stopped the transport of oil in Poland to the point" Adamovo "for an indefinite period"– Said the chief mechanic.

"Gomeltransneft Druzhba" informs that the excess of the indicator on the mbad fraction of organic chlorides was up to 30 times higher than the maximum standard.

The flow of oil to Ukraine for refineries in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary is continuing. Unconditioned oil will arrive at oil delivery points in Hungary and Slovakia within 4 to 5 days.

According to this report, Gomeltransneft Druzhba sent a phone message to Bryansk asking him to interrupt the westbound transit due to poor oil supply and the refusal of PERN to accept it. . "In the west, the Mozyr pipeline to the west is completely shut down, the gates are closed. The oil supply by another branch is maintained in the volumes needed for transit to Ukraine, which is about 40,000 tons per day. "– said Andrei Verigo.

The declaration of the operator of the Polish section of Friendship also indicates that the continued supply of high chloride petroleum creates the risk of a serious work accident, both for the refinery and the logistics system PERN .

Belneftekhim Group press officer Marina Kostyuchenko also confirmed reports that Polish transit was terminated. "It has been a week since Belneftekhim sounded the alarm about poor quality oil supplies from Russia, patiently negotiating with Transneft and insisting that the oil supply problem meet the standards of refineries and gas networks. Belarussian pipelines be settled as soon as possible. However, the Russian side is slow to adopt operational measures despite promises to solve the problem within 2-3 days– said Marina Kostyuchenko. – Our neighbors have not waited and, due to the refusal of all refineries to accept and process high organochlorine oils, the Polish operator PERN has stopped taking oils. This is causing a loss of reputation of Russian oil suppliers to Europe and, unfortunately, complicates the work of the Belarusian pipeline transport and the Mozyr oil refinery. ".

Polish and German oil refineries have been informed of the deterioration in the quality of oil produced at the entry point of Adamovo. PERN follows the situation.

The site "Gomeltransneft Druzhba" quotes the statement of the Polish refinery PKN Orlen: "We are waiting for a full report on this issue, on the basis of which we will decide what action to take".

On April 19, Belneftekhim announced a marked deterioration in the quality of the mixture of the Russian Urals flowing into the pipes. Later, the Mozyr oil refinery reported that this raw material was damaging expensive equipment. The second Belarusian refinery Naftan has reduced its protection capacity by almost 50%.
