Oil exports were halted in 2008
It is the first time for the recent six years that the oil extracted in Ukraine is being exported. It has become possible because “zero quotas” valid since 2009 were cancelled last year. The last time it happened in 2008, when Poland and Romania purchased the Ukrainian oil, businessua.com reports.
The Pryluky Naftonaliv (Chernihiv oblast) is the enterprise that is exporting oil. Oil transported to the ORLEN Lietuva oil refinery in Lithuania is being extracted from the eight oilfields in Chernihiv oblast. Over two months the company has exported around 20 thousand tons of oil to the amount of $13 million.
