The pumping of high-quality oil from Mozyr refinery of OAO Gomeltransneft Druzhba into the Druzhba pipeline system has been started in the direction of Ukraine, the press service of JSC Ukrtransnafta has reported.
“At 2:17 p.m. Kyiv time oil with quality indicators corresponding to the norm started to be pumped into the Druzhba pipeline system in the direction of Ukraine for its further transportation to the EU countries,” the Ukrainian operator of oil pipelines said.
As reported, due to oil force majeure in Belarus, Ukrtransnafta on April 25, 2019, forcedly suspended transit of oil through the Mozyr-Brody oil pipeline.
The supply of quality Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline to Belarus started on the afternoon of May 2 after the country on April 30 had stopped pumping to displace oil contaminated with organic chlorides from the Russian and Belarusian sections of the Druzhba pipeline.
On May 6 Belneftekhim reported on the receipt of “pure” Russian oil by Mozyr refinery of OJSC Gomeltransneft Druzhba.
