The Czech Anti-Monopoly Office announced that it would analyze Conoco’s prospective purchase of Ceska rafinerska and Benzina separate from Agrofert’s purchase of Unipetrol, which could significantly extend the post-privatization restructuring process.
Separately, a defect at an ethylen unit caused production halt in Chemopetrol.
Unipetrol stock is unlikely to be affected by the above news.
