Koch refuses to buy Urals from Yugansk region

摘要

London-US refiner Koch said Feb 18 it has changed its policy on buying Urals crude and will no longer purchase oil from the Yugansk region of Russia,since this production was previously marketed by embattled Russian major Yukos. Koch's worry is the ongoing US court battle,where Yukos has filed for protection from its creditors under the US Bankruptcy Code (ON 2/18).
