MOSCOW, April 18 - TNK-BP is considering the possibility of transferring the polypropylene unit from the Ukrainian Lysychansk Oil Refinery (LINIK), which was halted due to unprofitability under existing conditions, to Yaroslavnefteorgsintez (YANOS), which TNK-BP owns jointly with Gazprom Neft.

"We are considering various possibilities. This includes the possibility of transferring the polypropylene unit from LINIK to YANOS," TNK-BP's Executive Vice President for Downstream Activities Alfredo Barrios told journalists.
