Petrotel, a Lukoil refinery in Romania, is set to resume operations after a 13-month suspension due to international sanctions and recent insolvency. The refinery has arranged for a shipment of Kazakh crude oil to arrive in Constanta by mid-November. Dan Dănulescu, the chief engineer, emphasizes the need for support from the Ministry of Energy to ensure safe delivery of the oil. Preparations for restarting operations have been ongoing, with technical teams readying the facilities. Petrotel has significant debts and is seeking operational coordination with Oil Terminal and CONPET, both under the Ministry's oversight, to facilitate the oil's arrival. The company aims for a smooth dialogue with authorities to ensure the refinery's successful relaunch before winter.
