=== Crude Supply ===
Until July 2006, the primary feedstock processed by the Mazeikiai Refinery was Russian crude oil shipped by the Druzhba Pipeline system. These supplies were supplemented by crude oil and other feedstocks delivered by railway. Mazeikiu Nafta also purchases for the Refinery truck shipments of crude oil produced in Lithuania. Currently the main deliveries of crude oil to the Mazeikiai Refinery come via the Butinge Oil Terminal.
