Naftogaz and ORLEN expand strategic partnership on LNG and petroleum product supplies

Naftogaz Group and Poland’s ORLEN signed two memoranda during the Carpathian Eight Summit aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s energy security and diversifying energy supply routes.

One of the documents provides for the supply of three LNG cargoes in the first quarter of 2027. If required, the additional LNG volumes will help meet Ukraine’s needs during the period of peak seasonal consumption.

ORLEN is an important strategic partner for Naftogaz. Amid ongoing Russian attacks on our domestic production facilities, it is particularly important for us to have reliable sources of gas supply and diversified delivery routes,” said Sergii Fedorenko, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Naftogaz.

“Cooperation with Ukraine is an important part of ORLEN’s commitment to energy security in Central and Eastern Europe. Strengthening our partnership with Naftogaz helps create more opportunities to diversify supplies and improve the resilience of the region’s energy system. We see this as a lasting partnership that serves the interests of both companies,” said Ireneusz Fąfara, CEO and President of the Management Board of ORLEN.

The other memorandum with the Polish company was signed by Ukrnafta, part of Naftogaz Group. It provides for the supply of petroleum products to the Ukrainian market worth up to $500 million. This will further strengthen the stability of fuel supplies amid the global oil crisis caused by events in the Middle East.

The document also makes it possible to explore the possibility of supplying Ukrainian crude oil for processing at refineries in Central Europe. Another area of cooperation is expected to be the potential transfer of used fuel tanker trucks to Ukrnafta for transporting petroleum products.
