Oil shipments to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will resume "within the next several minutes".
Ukrtransnafta has fully resumed the shipment of oil via the Odesa-Brody pipeline in the direction to the Pivdenny Sea Oil Terminal in Odesa region, the press center of Ukraine’s state gas company Naftogaz has told Interfax-Ukraine.
Oil shipments to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will resume “within the next several minutes,“ the press service said.
As was reported recently, power supply to the Karpaty and Brody oil pumping stations of the Druzhba oil pipeline system has resumed, the Ukrainian Fuel and Energy Ministry’s press secretary, Fent Di, has told Interfax-Ukraine.
He said that power supply to the Brody and Karpaty oil pumping stations resumed at 1800 and 1825 respectively.
As reported, oil shipments to Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic via the Druzhba oil-trunk pipeline were suspended at 1836 on Tuesday, October 13, due to the blackout of two 110-kV transmission facilities that supplied power to the Karpaty oil pumping station.
The shipment of oil on the Brody-Pivdenny Sea Oil Terminal section of the pipeline was suspended at 0414 on Wednesday, October 14, after two 110-kV transmission facilities that supplied power to the Brody oil pumping station stopped operating.
Ukraine’s state gas firm Naftogaz said earlier that Ukrtransnafta would resume oil shipments after power supply to the Brody and Karpaty oil pumping stations is restored.
