Poland’s Orlen rushes to find alternatives to Saudi oil supply, traders say LONDON/WARSAW, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Polish integrated oil firm Orlen PKN.WA is rushing to find crude oil cargoes from the North Sea and further afield to replace disrupted Saudi imports, four oil traders told Reuters.
Orlen is one of the major European term customers of Saudi crude oil, but an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East - including Yemeni Houthi attacks against Saudi installations - has left the Polish firm seeking alternative supplies in recent days.
