Lukoil rerouting oil previously shipped to Hungary via Druzhba pipeline to other destinations - industry source

MOSCOW. July 23 (Interfax) - Lukoil is rerouting oil that was previously shipped via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and further to Slovakia to other destinations, an industry source told reporters.

"It [oil] is going according to the applications accepted for transportation," the industry source said.

The source said that Lukoil has not resumed pipeline deliveries in the direction of Hungary in July.

The source has also allowed for the recipients currently negotiating with the shipper about purchasing oil from the consignor at the border between Russia and Ukraine.

"[Such consultations] are probably underway," the source said.
