Polish Lotos Oil oil company has agreed on sale of its lubricating oils at service stations of KIA-Azerbaijan company, the commercial director, export manager of the company Cezary Kogucik told Azerbaijani journalists in Krakow on Thursday.
"At present, we annually supply about one thousand tons of lubricant oil to Azerbaijan and we account for about 10-15 percent of the market, this figures are growing every year. LVM company is our partner company in Baku. We also supply lubricants for drilling units to SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan). Akkord and Azenco companies are also major buyers of our products, " Kogucik said.
According to him, the company sees a good tendency in the sale of lubricating oil in the official service points of major automobile companies.
"Therefore, we have already agreed with KIA-Azerbaijan on sale of Lotos lubricant oil. Similar negotiations are in process with Hyundai-Azebaijan," Kogucik said.
Experience of Azerbaijan in offshore oil production is of interest for Lotos Oil company.
"Your experts produced oil in many parts of the world, in Siberia, with a harsh climate. We currently have projects in the Baltic Sea, and would therefore like to use the knowledge of Azerbaijani specialists," the commercial director of the company said.
In turn, the company is ready to share its experience in oil refining, as it has a large oil refinery in Gdansk with capacity of 10.5 million tons of oil a year.
Currently, mainly Russian oil is used at the refinery. According to Kogucik, its supply is the most beneficial in terms of both technological process and logistics.
"Purchasing Azerbaijani oil is not advantageous for us at the moment. We can consider this question in case of the launch of Odessa-Brody-Plotsk-Gdansk pipeline with supplies of Azerbaijani oil" Kogucik said.
