Poland's Orlen Oil Company is rapidly seeking oil shipments from the North Sea and other parts of the world due to disruptions in oil supply from Saudi Arabia. This company is one of the main customers of Saudi crude oil in Europe, and the escalating conflicts in the Middle East, including Houthi attacks from Yemen on Saudi facilities, have compelled Orlen to look for alternative supplies.
Purchase of New Oil Shipments
According to industry sources, Orlen has purchased several crude oil shipments in cash tenders at the end of last week and on Monday. These shipments include various types of North Sea crude oil such as Grane, Johan Sverdrup, and Johan Castberg. Additionally, the company has been seeking shipments of crude oil and TPI from the United States and oil blends from Kazakhstan.
