The
Ukraine government will get involved in a dispute between Lukoil and
UkrTransNafta, a state oil shipper, seeking to restart an oil refinery
in Odessa, an official said.
Lukoil stopped the refinery last week following the dispute with UkrTransNafta after the oil shipper had acted on a plan to start massive imports of Caspian Sea crude to one of Lukoil’s competitors. Lukoil complained that using alternative pipeline for delivering Russian crude to Odessa would make the refinery unprofitable, and shut down the refinery indefinitely.
