According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), digital technologies are making energy systems smarter and more efficient. The development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), smart sensors, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence is gradually transforming the way electricity is generated, transmitted, and consumed.

Energy security and supply sustainability remain a key priority for LUKOIL in the context of the increasingly complex international situation and tensions in the Middle East.

Energy security and supply sustainability remain a key priority for LUKOIL

In an interview with “24 Chasa”, LUKOIL’s Special Commercial Manager Rumen Spetsov emphasized that the Burgas refinery is operating with secured diversified crude oil supplies and maintains reserves for a minimum of 90 days.

“My role is to manage the financial flows and guarantee the operation of the refinery, but we must also take into account the private interest of the owner - the Russian company \"Lukoil\". The function of the Special Manager is to maintain the ecosystem among the four \"Lukoil\" companies in Bulgaria in a financially sound condition.”

Rumen Spetsov also clearly stated that:

  • supplies for Bulgaria are not directly dependent on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz area;
  • price dynamics are determined mainly by international markets and logistics costs;
  • the refinery operates with oil from different countries and sources;
  • there is no change in the current trade mechanisms and contractual relations.

The company continues to closely monitor the international environment, with the main focus remaining on guaranteeing stability, predictability, and continuity of supplies for the Bulgarian market.
