Construction of the oil refinery and completion of the Brody-Plock section of the oil pipeline will allow full and effective use of the Odessa-Brody pipeline, and will also help diversify sources to provide Ukraine with oil and petroleum products. In early August the European Commission awarded a contract to complete the technical, economic, and legal feasibility studies for continuing the construction of the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline to Plock to a consortium which consists of three European companies: Sweco plc (Finland), ILF GmbH (Germany), and Kantor (Greece).
