MINSK, Jun 24 - PrimePress. The State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) plans to send another batch of Azerbaijani oil in the amount of 85-90 thousand tonnes to Belarus by the end of June 2020. The oil is expected to be delivered to the Mozyr Oil Refinery OJSC (Gomel Oblast) on July 10-15, says Alexander Tishchenko, Spokesman for the state petrochemical concern Belneftekhim.
This batch is on Belneftekhim’s supply schedule. The oil will be delivered to Odessa (Ukraine) by the end of June.
Tishchenko says Belneftekhim continues diversifying oil supplies to Belarus, looking at sources alternative to Russia.
As reported, Socar Trading (SOCAR subsidiary) delivered four batches of oil to the Mozyr Oil Refinery in January-April 2020, around 335,000 tonnes in total, including three in March (250,000 tonnes) and one in April (85,000 tonnes) via Odessa through the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline.
Belneftekhim said earlier that SOCAR would supply up to 1 million tonnes of oil to Belarus in 2020.
Belarus has been diversifying oil supplies to its refineries (Mozyr Oil Refinery, Gomel Oblast, and Naftan OJSC, Novopolotsk, Vitebsk Oblast) after Russia cut supplies in January-March 2020 due to price disagreements with Russian large oil companies. During that period, the refineries processed 2.9 million tonnes of oil instead of planned 5.9 million. In 2020, Belarus purchased oil from Azerbaijan, Norway, Saudi Arabia and the United States via Klaipeda (Lithuania) and Odessa (Ukraine). End
