Motor Oil signs five year deal with Rosneft

The document defines the intentions of the parties for arrangement of mutual supply of crude oil and oil products for the next 5 years and foresees the potential of increasing these volumes to 7.5 mmt (150.000 barrels a day).

The signed agreement brings the cooperation with Greek partners to a new level and sets a foundation for stable and long-term relations in the field of supply of crude oil and other products for Greek refineries. The document will also enable Rosneft to independently sell oil products produced at the refineries of Motor Oil Hellas using Petrocas Energy facilities.

Implementation of the agreement conditions will increase the cost-effectiveness of Rosneft oil and oil products marketing, at the same time, allowing the partner to offer flexible supply framework.

The agreement was signed within the framework of developing the partnership between Petrocas Energy and Motor Oil Hellas. The deal came as no surprise as in 2017 the supply and procurement of oil products from Rosneft amounted to over 2 mmt. Oil products were supplied to Motor Oil Hellas mainly using Rosneft resources.
