Ukrzaliznytsia will buy 10 thousand tons of diesel fuel from Ukrnafta

Ukrzaliznytsia JSC (UZ) will purchase 10 thousand tons of diesel fuel from state-owned Ukrnafta PJSC following the fourth tender for the purchase of diesel fuel through Prozorro Market, the company said in a telegram on Wednesday.
According to the release, Ukrnafta offered the best price of UAH 50.97 thousand per ton.
It is noted that Ukrzaliznytsia will sign a contract with the winner in the near future. It is specified that all diesel should be painted to prevent theft.
Earlier, UZ has already purchased 25 thousand tons of diesel fuel through Prozorro Market at prices of UAH 50.5 – 52.9 thousand per ton. The company notes that, taking into account the Platts indices at the time of the selection of the winners, this corresponds to the prices of direct contracts with European producers, including all related costs for delivery and customs clearance.
In particular, in June 2024, Ukrnafta was awarded contracts for the supply of 15 thousand tons. In July, the winner of the tender for 10 thousand tons was Sokar Ukraine Trading House LLC.
It is noted that both winners at the stage of their registration in the electronic catalog of the electronic procurement system were qualified by the Professional Procurement State Enterprise and guaranteed that their products were not of Russian, Belarusian or Iranian origin.
As reported, UZ used to buy diesel directly from European producers, but in April 2024, after amendments to a government decree, the company no longer has this option and can only buy diesel through Prozorro.

“Ukrnafta” starts implementing American Petroleum Institute standards

PJSC Ukrnafta has started implementing the standards of The American Petroleum Institute in its operations, the company said in a press release on Thursday.
“Until 2023, the company was guided by outdated, Soviet-era standards of work. Accordingly, this affected absolutely all business and technological processes and did not allow us to develop at the desired pace. This is now changing,” the document explains.
In particular, the company signed a memorandum with The American Petroleum Institute and started purchasing modern equipment for production, service and stimulation – this year alone, modern pumps from German Oil Dynamics, American Baker Hughes and Alkhorayef Petroleum from Saudi Arabia will be installed in 150 wells of the company.
“However, the most important thing, the basis of all processes, is the implementation of standards, because these are the rules and regulations that the industry operates under throughout the civilized world. The first important step in this direction has already been taken: an agreement has been signed with The American Petroleum Institute to obtain and translate industry standards,” the company said.
Initially, 314 API standards have been identified, 20 of which relate to drilling, exploration, production and stimulation, and their translation has already been received and started.
The American Petroleum Institute has been defining and maintaining standards for the global oil and gas industry since 1924. These are work rules based on a century of experience and modern trends that improve safety, reduce costs, reduce waste and ensure the quality of the final product,” the company explained.
Ukrnafta added that these will be the first API standards available in Ukrainian.
“Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil producer and operator of a national network of filling stations. In March 2024, the company took over the management of Glusco’s assets and operates a total of 545 filling stations – 460 owned and 85 managed.
