On the other hand, some 60 percent of Lithuania's export earnings are generated from products derived from Soviet-supplied oil and sold to Western Europe.

Oil refining facilities in Mazeikiai, Lithuania produced 12.7 million tons of petroleum products in 1987 including gasoline, refined crude, diesel, bitumen, various liquid gases and sulphur.
