LUKoil to increase liquefied gas supplies to Poland

Russia's oil major LUKoil plan to considerably increase liquefied gas supplies to Poland, its president, Vagit Alekperov told.
"The company is rather active in the liquefied gas market and it currently controls a 10 % share of the market in Poland," he said.

When a major gas filling station goes in operation in the Guriev district of the Kaliningrad region, export to Poland will go up.
"This terminal is addressed to the Polish market, and it will let us control supplies to a greater area of Poland. Before this happens, though, liquefied gas transportation vehicles will have to be re-equipped," Alekperov said.

In the first phase of the project the Kaliningrad gas filling station's turnover will total 10,000 tons, with chances of easily building it up to 50,000 tons. The original construction deadlines are set at two years, but in this particular case construction work on the project may be completed within seventeen months.
