Return of Oil Flows to Germany
BERLIN (Reuters) -Oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline to Germany's PCK refinery are expected to return to normal by the end of this week following the repair of damages, Rosneft Germany, the refinery's largest shareholder, said on Thursday.
Impact of Drone Strikes
Ukrainian drones struck an oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region, leading to supply disruption via the Druzhba pipeline last month.
Details on PCK Refinery Supply
Germany's PCK refinery - one of the country's largest - in the northeastern town of Schwedt is supplied in part by Kazakh crude transported via the pipeline, after a stop in Russian oil deliveries in the wake of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Rosneft's Oil Import Plans
Rosneft Germany spokesperson Burkhard Woelki said the company imports 120,000 tons of oil from Kazakhstan every month, adding that talks with Kazakhstan regarding expanding and extending the oil imports beyond 2025 were on track.
German news agency DPA reported the return of flows first.
