Mazeikiai Refinery (ORLEN Lietuva)

DISAGREEMENT on capacity between two ORLEN-published sources, both opened 2026-09-22. ORLEN Lietuva's own refinery page states 'The design capacity of the Mazeikiai Refinery is 10 million tonnes of crude oil per year' and adds that the efficient operating volume under current conditions is 8 million tonnes annually. ORLEN's 2023 Integrated Report states 'ORLEN Lietuva refinery in Mazeikiai, with an annual production capacity of 10.2 million tonnes, being the only refinery in the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia)'. The 10 Mt/a design figure from the site operator is used in the capacity fields; the 10.2 Mt/a group figure is dated 2023. capacity_bpd is EMPTY because neither ORLEN source prints barrels per day and no tonnes-to-barrels conversion was made. Commissioned 1980 per the operator page. Connections per the ORLEN Lietuva terminal-and-pipelines page: the Butinge terminal 'can export up to 14 million tons of crude oil a year' and includes 'a crude oil pipeline, which connects the facility with the Mazeikiai Refinery' (Mazeikiai-Butinge, 91.5 km); the Polotsk-Birzai-Mazeikiai pipeline (built 1979, 225.5 km Lithuanian section, 720 mm, 16 million tons a year) also reaches the refinery, with the Mazeikiai-Birzai leg given as a 28-inch line of 16.2 million tons a year. The refinery page notes that Russian crude via the Druzhba trunk pipeline stopped in July 2006 and that crude now arrives mainly via Butinge, plus rail and truck. Coordinates are from the EEA Industrial Emissions Portal (IED Annex I activity 1.2, installation 'AB "ORLEN Lietuva"', reporting year 2024, status functional), https://industry.eea.europa.eu/ - not operator-published.
