Germany will sign two contracts to increase crude volumes imported from Kazakhstan for its Schwedt refinery according to Reuters sources on Sunday.
- Under the first deal, a monthly supply of 100,000 metric tons of crude oil will be secured until the end of 2025, while a second contract will be for the supply of up to 50,000 tons per month.
- The Schwedt refinery has already been purchasing the additional quantities for three months but now they will be contractually fixed.
- The flows come via the Druzhba pipeline and replace those lost under Russian sanctions and fulfil the specification to replace Urals.
