PKN Orlen to close Mazeikiu purchase mid-December

摘要

London-Polish refiner PKN Orlen is to close its acquisition of Lithuania's 190,000 b/d refinery Mazeikiu Nafta by mid-December, a PKN spokesman said November 20, which would finally lay to rest speculation the Polish company was considering dumping the deal. "It will be finished by December 15," he said, confirming comments made by PKN CEO Igor Chalupec and Lithuanian Prime Minister Gemindas Kirkilas November 18 at a joint press conference in Vilnius.
