The Prax Group, a leading independent oil refining, trading, storage, distribution and retail conglomerate dealing in petroleum products and bio-fuels, has announced that it has completed an exclusive crude oil and feedstocks supply arrangement with Trafigura, a market leader in the global commodities industry, according to the company's release.
Under the terms of the transaction, Prax will purchase crude oil and refinery feedstocks from Trafigura for all of its requirements for Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery, located near Immingham in the Humber estuary, in the North East region of the United Kingdom.
Under the new agreement, Trafigura will use its extensive global reach in international oil markets to source the optimal range of crude oils and feedstocks for the refinery. Other details relating to the transaction remain confidential.
The Prax Group took over ownership of Lindsey Oil Refinery from Total today, on 1 March 2021. With an annual production capacity of 5.4 million tonnes, the acquisition underpins the Group’s long-term strategy to be fully integrated across the oil value chain from upstream to downstream and secures local supply for the trade and sale of oil products for its substantial downstream presence in the United Kingdom.
