A Hungarian company tried to replace Russian oil with Arabic oil at its plant in Slovakia

The Hungarian oil and gas company MOL conducted a successful trial run of Arab Light oil of Arab origin. A trial run was carried out at the subsidiary plant of the Hungarian company in Slovakia.

The company's official annual report states that the Slovnaft refinery has also carried out preparations to ensure the ability to receive oil of non-Russian origin.



The Hungarian Energy Ministry previously stated that after Western sanctions on the purchase of Russian oil products came into force, the MOL oil and gas company has the ability to export from its subsidiary in Bratislava only oil products from raw materials of non-Russian origin. Currently, the share of raw materials produced outside of Russia reaches 30%.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that an increase in oil supplies from Saudi Arabia could help Hungarian companies to diversify their energy imports. In addition, in the event of termination of land transit of Russian oil through the territory of Ukraine, the Hungarian authorities are considering the possibility of importing Ecuadorian oil.

In addition, Szijjarto announced ongoing negotiations on the start of Hungary's imports of oil and gas from Oman. However, the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry also stressed that agreements on the import of energy carriers from other countries are aimed at diversification and do not imply refusal to conclude relevant contracts with Russia.

    This is already a question for oil refining technologists, something the Hungarians are obscure.

          And they are also preparing to expand production. When the Western European will finally be bent from suicidal sanctions. This market will open up.

      This is so if the oil is worse in quality, if the oil is lighter then no special settings are needed.

        Deviation from the calculated fractional composition in any direction reduces the productivity of the installation, increases the cost of products, etc. Up to the impossibility of the process if the deviation is large. I've been since 82 and still in big chemistry, if anything. Achinsk refinery launched in those days.

    The Arabs have been actively buying up our oil lately. I think not in order to pump it back into our wells. They trade with the same west. They will dilute it a little with their own and all the oil is not a bit Russian anymore - sell it to the west. In addition, the owners of the plants are also not bad - they do not need to change to new varieties. Oil is almost the same as it was.

        The Arabs are now intensively buying up our oil and reselling it under the guise of their own. Here, only the Europeans remain in the loser, overpaying for the same Russian oil.

    Cracking is an increase in the octane number of gasoline already obtained by heating it in a reactor in the presence of catalysts. This is if it's simple. So cracking is not "sharpened" for the brand of oil. And here is the rectification, yes.
    Threat In general, it is very likely that the Magyars decided to earn extra money by selling products of Russian oil refining. Together with our bureaucrats, of course. Everyone is good. In Europe, they buy diesel and gasoline from "Arab" oil, and Russia does not sell resources to "unfriendly" countries. Grace!

    Depending on the price, the owner said you will buy from me (the Arabs have been feeding the dollar since the 70s), it’s expensive, but it’s easy for someone. We don’t need such partners, it’s bad, of course, not to have an alternative to Asia, on the other hand, let our elite dream of shopping in Kong Kong than in satanic Europe.

    I was, and still am, an amateur.
    But reading the news that one country is beginning to "diversify" from oil from Russia, another country is closing the port for "a limited number of Russian ships", a third country has decided not to buy Russian gas, which is supplied through the "wrong pipes", the question arises for us ...
    Was it possible to stop export deliveries to everyone in May last year? Could it technically be done?
    Loss of proceeds from the sale of raw materials, difficulty with the redirection of extracted, difficulty with domestic consumption.
    Was it technically possible to "close the valve" for countries that are potential enemies of Russia?

      Technically, "close the valve" means to reduce the number of
      operating wells.
      If the well is closed, it is dead forever.
      Because they pump by the method of constant pumping into the well of water / special. liquids.
      There are no wells from which oil itself beats in Russia.
      There are no strategic oil storage facilities in Russia either.

      Therefore, you have to sell oil to everyone you can sell it to.

    Arabic oil is suitable only for gasoline. Heavy for production is mined in our country and in other places.

    Of course, it was successful, given that Arab oil either contains the lion's share of Russian or entirely Russian
