Orlen secures strategic North Sea crude deal with BP

Orlen has signed a major agreement with BP for the supply of North Sea crude oil, representing 15% of its annual requirements, to strengthen its refining operations in Europe.

Please share:

Orlen, a major refiner in Central Europe, has signed a landmark contract with BP for the supply of 6 million tonnes of crude oil from Norwegian fields.
This volume, corresponding to 15% of Orlen’s annual requirements, will be delivered mainly to the port facilities of Gdansk and Butinge, thus reinforcing the resilience of its energy supply.
The agreement, which takes effect in September, is part of a wider strategy to diversify supply sources and reduce dependence on high-risk regions.

Technological synergies and cost optimization

The choice of North Sea crude is not an insignificant one.
This oil, renowned for its homogeneous quality, is perfectly suited to Orlen’s refining technologies, optimizing yields and reducing production costs.
By integrating this crude into its mix, Orlen strengthens its operational efficiency while maintaining flexibility in its operations.
At the same time, the company continues to explore other sources of supply, including US Midland WTI and Nigerian Forcados, to ensure continuity of supply in all circumstances.

Prospects for expanding cooperation

This agreement paves the way for closer cooperation between Orlen and BP.
The two companies are already considering extending their partnership to other forms of energy supply, which could offer further opportunities for synergy.
For BP, the agreement is also a strategic step forward, strengthening its presence in the Polish market and more widely in Central and Eastern Europe.
The strengthening of these relations comes at a time of growing geopolitical tension, when energy security is becoming an absolute priority for industrial players.
This agreement between Orlen and BP reflects the determination of both groups to consolidate their positions by adapting their strategies to the realities of the global energy market.
