Poland's Orlen: Saudi Oil Flows Uninterrupted Despite Red Sea Tensions
28 Apr
Summary
- Saudi Aramco oil deliveries to Poland's Orlen remain on schedule.
- Orlen receives approximately 40% of its oil from Saudi Aramco.
- Poland's Orlen prepares for peak aviation fuel demand from May to September.

Oil deliveries from Saudi Aramco to Polish refiner Orlen are proceeding as planned, unaffected by the conflict involving Iran. Orlen confirmed that supplies are on schedule and meeting contracted volumes, with no anticipated changes for May. Saudi Aramco is currently utilizing the Red Sea port of Yanbu for its exports, a route Orlen also benefits from due to shipping restrictions elsewhere.
This supply arrangement is crucial for Orlen, as Saudi Aramco provides roughly 40% of the crude oil processed by the Polish company. Last year, Orlen processed nearly 40 million metric tons of oil. In addition to crude oil, Orlen has announced its preparedness to meet contracted volumes of jet fuel throughout the peak aviation season, which spans from May to September.
