ORLEN and Naftogaz Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop co-operation in LNG product supplies, diversify supply routes, and support the stability of energy supplies in Ukraine and the wider region.
The MoU was signed during the Carpathian Eight Summit.
Under the MoU, ORLEN and Naftogaz will explore the potential supply of three LNG cargoes in 1Q27. For ORLEN, the potential additional volumes would be part of further developing its LNG trading activities and strengthening its role as a reliable supplier in regional markets.
Ireneusz Fafara, CEO and President of the Management Board of ORLEN, noted: “Co-operation with Ukraine is an important part of ORLEN’s commitment to energy security in Central and Eastern Europe. Strengthening our partnership with Naftogaz helps create more opportunities to diversify supplies and improve the resilience of the region’s energy system. We see this as a lasting partnership that serves the interests of both companies.”
Sergii Fedorenko, Acting CEO of Naftogaz of Ukraine, commented: “ORLEN is an important strategic partner for Naftogaz. Amid ongoing Russian attacks on our domestic production facilities, it is particularly important for us to have reliable sources of gas supply and diversified delivery routes.”
ORLEN and Naftogaz have been steadily developing their co-operation, including supplies of natural gas sourced from US LNG and broader commercial collaboration in Central and Eastern Europe. Since 2025, the companies have been expanding their partnership in LNG, drawing on ORLEN’s trading capabilities, access to regasification infrastructure, and experience in arranging deliveries to Ukraine.
