Novak urges oil companies to quickly restart refineries after repairs

The UK’s Lindsey oil refinery has resumed fuel deliveries, according to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero. The department confirmed that "Deliveries from the Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery have resumed" late Tuesday [1]. This development comes after the refinery’s owner received a surprise liquidation order, which temporarily halted wholesale fuel supply by road last week. The UK is now well-supplied with fuel, the department stated.

The restart of deliveries follows a period of uncertainty for the refinery, which is located in north England. Trucks were previously unable to enter the plant, according to two individuals familiar with the matter. The department did not provide specifics on when deliveries restarted.

The news is significant for the UK’s energy sector, which has been closely monitoring the situation at Lindsey Oil Refinery. The restart of operations is a relief for fuel suppliers and consumers alike, ensuring a steady flow of fuel into the market. The UK’s energy security remains a priority, and this development is a positive step towards maintaining stability in the fuel supply chain.
