Oil processing at Odessa refinery may be started before the end of the summer

The oil processing at Odessa refinery may be started before the end of the current summer, the consulting group A-95’s Director Sergei Kuyun writes in article for the ZN.UA.

According to him, the start of the enterprise’s work, stood idle from 2010, must reveal a lot of interesting moments, the ZN.UA transmits.

“For example, the schema of loading with crude oil hasn’t been finally settled (coordinated). At first, they said about priority of supplies from the sea, but in his June interview Sergei Kurchenko suddenly said that negotiations with Russian Transneft were completed. This means that the oil will be supplied by pipeline route and this is the most profitable transport in this sector. According to recent data, some difficulties take place here. For example, they says that Russians completely rejected to pump oil via the cheaper route Lisichansk-Kremenchug-Odessa (Dnepr oil pipelines), for fear of unauthorized supply of oil to the Kremenchug Ukrtatnafta,"- the author writes.
