MOSCOW, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Russia's LUKOIL will load a large Urals crude cargo from Poland's Gdansk in November and reduce deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia because of technical transit problems, traders said on Friday.
Russia's second largest oil producer will lift a 120,000-tonne cargo from Gdansk in the second half of the month in addition to the already scheduled 221,000 tonnes of Russian crude from Gdansk in November.
Traders added the privately-held firm will also cut supplies via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia this month compared with the initial schedule.
The sources said the cut would come as Transneft , the Russian pipeline monopoly, cannot ensure full deliveries to Ukraine's Odessa refinery, the Black Sea port of Yuzhny and to Eastern Europe after Ukraine reversed flows along a key pipeline to import non-Russian crude.
LUKOIL will also boost domestic supplies in November with crude deliveries to the Ufa refineries to grow by 200,000 tonnes, traders said.
