Poprawa poziomu bezpieczeństwa energetycznego państwa wynikająca z nowej koncepcji gospodarowania ropą naftową w Polsce. Cz. 3, Budowa nowych magazynów i ropociągów

One of the main tasks, the implementation of which will enchance energy security in the oil sector, is the implementation of projects related to the storage and transmission of crude oil. In Poland, primarily the construction of new pipelines is the main task for Oil Pipeline Exploitation Company (PERN), whereas Liquid Fuel Logistic Oparator (OLPP) is the market leader in fuel storage capacity. In addition, the construction of new reservoirs to fulfill their own needs is realized by PKN ORLEN and LOTOS Group. PERN is planning the further expansion of the domestic and cross-border network of fuel pipelines. The development of a national network of fuel pipelines would allow for the delivery of fuels by pipeline to the largest urban centers – Warsaw and Silesia. In addition, in the area of the North Port it is planned to build a base for storage and transshipment with tanks designed for the collection of both crude oil and fuels. Whereas, according to the strategies of the LOTOS Group and PKN ORLEN there are continued investments connected with the expansion of the tank base and increasing the ability for the storage and distribution of fuel. However, according to experts the strategic importance for the energy security of the country is the construction of storage facilities for crude oil fuels in salt caverns in Dębogórze near Gdynia.
