SURSE Mediafax | Rafinăria Petrotel Lukoil ia în calcul insolvența pentru a-și proteja activele

Petrotel refinery, owned by Lukoil, is considering insolvency to protect its assets and resume operations amid international sanctions and creditor claims. The management believes this is the only viable option to safeguard the company and its employees. The refinery has been inactive since October 2025 due to technical revisions and has faced challenges in sourcing crude oil. Despite plans to restart operations with non-Russian oil, these have not materialized. The internal document emphasizes the need for legal protection to maintain industrial value and ensure economic stability in Romania.
