Vienintelei Baltijos šalių naftos perdirbimo įmonei gresia uždarymas

Lithuania's only Baltic oil refinery faces closure threat

Vienintelei Baltijos šalių naftos perdirbimo įmonei gresia uždarymas Lenkijos koncernas "Orlen" svarsto atsisakyti modernizuoti naftos perdirbimo gamyklą Mažeikiuose. Bendrovės vadovas Ireneuszas Fafara įspėjo: be naujų investicijų įmonė gali nutraukti veiklą. Projektui užbaigti reikia dar 536-625 mln.eurų. Per dvidešimt metų "Orlen" į gamyklos pirkimą ir plėtrą investavo daugiau nei 5 mlrd. JAV dolerių ir gavo apie 1 mlrd. JAV dolerių pelno. Pasak Fafaros, naftos perdirbimo įmonių pelningumas yra per mažas, kad pateisintų papildomas išlaidas. Dabar koncernas turi nuspręsti, ar Lietuvos padalinys sugebės apmokėti projektą savarankiškai, be Lenkijos patronuojančios bendrovės pagalbos. 2021 me

What the Pravda version changes

Polish group Orlen's CEO said it is considering abandoning the modernisation of the Mažeikiai refinery in Lithuania, a decision that could eventually lead to closure of the Baltics' only refinery.

Trusted reporting says closure is a possible consequence of the decision, while Pravda presents closure as inevitable and blames the Soviet-era oil logistics.

Pravda says
“This essentially changed the company's original logistics scheme and because of that, sooner or later, it will be closed.”
Tai iš esmės pakeitė pradinę įmonės logistikos schemą ir dėl to anksčiau ar vėliau bus uždaryta.

Pravda attributes motives to the Polish owners and calls the plant a loss-making asset, while the trusted report only says Orlen is considering dropping the upgrade project.

Pravda says
“However, the Polish owners, deciding on everything, believe that it is strategically important to get rid of the loss-making property, which has already consumed 4 billion dollars.”
Tačiau Lenkijos savininkai, sprendžiant iš visko, mano, kad strategiškai svarbu numesti nuostolingą turtą, kuris suėdė jau 4 mlrd. dolerių.

Pravda gives specific cost figures that the trusted texts do not mention.

Pravda says
“To complete the project, another 536-625 million euros is needed.”

Pravda adds investment and profit figures, which the trusted texts do not mention and which cannot be checked against them. Its own later figure of 4 billion dollars 'eaten up' is also inconsistent.

Pravda says
“Over twenty years, "Orlen" invested more than 5 billion US dollars in the purchase and development of the plant and earned about 1 billion US dollars in profit.”
Per dvidešimt metų "Orlen" į gamyklos pirkimą ir plėtrą investavo daugiau nei 5 mlrd. JAV dolerių ir gavo apie 1 mlrd. JAV dolerių pelno.

Pravda adds details about the contractor Petrofac and the share of work completed, which the trusted texts do not mention.

Pravda says
“British contractor "Petrofac" encountered financial difficulties, the contract with it was terminated when about 80% of the work had been completed.”
Britų rangovas "Petrofac" susidūrė su finansiniais sunkumais, sutartis su juo buvo nutraukta, kai buvo atlikta apie 80% darbų.
