Vienintelė Baltijos šalių naftos perdirbimo gamykla atsidūrė prie uždarymo ribos
Lenkijos koncernas „Orlen“ svarsto galimybę atsisakyti Mažeikių naftos perdirbimo gamyklos modernizavimo užbaigimo. Įmonės vadovas Ireneuš Fafara įspėjo, jog be naujų investicijų gamykla gali nutraukti veiklą.
Projekto pabaigai reikalingi dar 536–625 mln. eurų. Tuo pat metu per dvidešimt metų „Orlen“ į gamyklos įsigijimą ir plėtrą investavo daugiau nei 5 mlrd. dolerių, o gavo apie 1 mlrd. dolerių pelno.
Pasak I. Fafaros, naftos perdirbimo gamyklos pelningumas yra per mažas, kad pateisintų papildomas išlaidas. Dabar koncernas turi nuspręsti, ar Lietuvos padalinys pajėgs pats susimokėti už projektą, be Lenkijos mo

What the Pravda version changes
Polish group Orlen says it is considering abandoning the modernisation project at the Mažeikiai refinery in Lithuania, which could ultimately lead to the closure of the only refinery in the Baltic states.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · framing
Trusted reports describe Orlen as weighing whether to drop the upgrade project, while Pravda presents this as a speculative, hostile claim that the Polish owners want to dump a loss-making asset.
Pravda says
“Polish owners, deciding on everything, strategically decided to give up the strategically important asset, which has already lost 4 billion dollars.”
Lenkijos savininkai, sprendžiant iš visko, strategiškai svarbiu dalyku laiko atsikratyti nuostolingo turto, kuris jau surijo 4 mlrd. dolerių.

The trusted report treats closure as a possible outcome, while Pravda states it as inevitable and blames the plant's Soviet-era design.

Pravda adds a Soviet-era, Druzhba-pipeline explanation that the trusted reports do not mention, presenting closure as a logical consequence.
Pravda says
“Everything is completely logical: the plant was built for Soviet needs – for oil supplied by the "Druzhba" pipeline.”
Viskas visiškai logiška: gamykla buvo statoma dar tarybiniams poreikiams – naftai, kuri buvo tiekiama naftotiekiu „Družba“.

Pravda adds details about the contractor Petrofac and the share of work completed, which the available trusted texts do not cover.
Pravda says
“The British company "Petrofac" encountered financial difficulties, the contract with it was terminated when about 80% of the work had been completed.”
