Oil pumping via Druzhba to Belarusian refineries suspended, stockpiled crude being used - Belneftekhim

MINSK. Dec 20 (Interfax) - Oil supplies to refineries in Belarus via the Druzhba oil pipeline have been suspended due to technical problems.

"Oil supplies have indeed been suspended," the Belneftekhim concern told the state BelTA news agency on Friday.

"There are sufficient stocks for the refineries to operate without disruption. Both refineries are operating smoothly, ensuring oil product shipments in full both to the domestic market and for export," it said.

Russia's Transneft is not commenting.

The Belarusian refineries receive oil from Russia via Druzhba, which passes through Belarus to Europe.
