Orlen Lithuania, the refining and import arm of Poland’s Orlen Group, has terminated a contract worth almost €1 billion with Petrofac after prolonged delays and growing concerns about the UK contractor’s ability to deliver a strategic refinery upgrade in Mažeikiai.

The decision adds to the pressure already facing Petrofac after a series of setbacks across its international portfolio in recent weeks.

Missed deadlines

In a statement to Gulf News, Orlen Group said the termination followed repeated failures to meet agreed timelines.
