Petrotel-Lukoil is set to restart its Ploiești refinery after a 13-month halt, with Kazakh crude expected in Constanța by November 20, 2026. Technical teams have prepared the facilities, and the cogeneration plant is operational. The company has coordinated with Oil Terminal and CONPET for the transport logistics. Petrotel's crude oil complies with international sanctions, and the company is seeking support from the Ministry of Energy for the transport process. The refinery, which has over 1.5 billion lei in debts, aims to protect assets and jobs while resuming production.
