The first tanker was loaded in Būtingė in the summer of 1999 and took on board a shipment of YUKOS crude oil. The Terminal can export up to 14 million tons of crude oil a year but can also function as an import terminal.
During the construction of the facility, an [[environmental monitoring]] program was introduced that includes tests of sea and ground waters. With the start of the terminal operations, an expanded environmental monitoring program was launched. This included a computer-based leak detection system.
The complex of the Būtingė Terminal consists of a crude oil pipeline that connects the facility with the Mažeikiai Refinery inland, onshore terminal equipment and tanks at Būtingė, an offshore pipeline, and a single point mooring (SPM) buoy<ref name="ABM-butinge">''[http://www.nafta.lt/en/content.php?pid=18 Marine Terminal] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070304153840/http://www.nafta.lt/en/content.php?pid=18 |date=2007-03-04 }}'', Mažeikių Nafta company website</ref> which lies 7 km offshore.<ref name="GW-1"/>

However, in 2003 Yukos ran afoul of the Russian authorities and was required to pay billions of dollars in taxes. Facing bankruptcy, Yukos began to sell off its assets, including Mažeikių Nafta.<ref name="FT-1"/>
Several potential buyers from [[Russia]], [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Poland]] showed interest in acquiring the refinery, whose majority stakeholder was now [[Yukos International]], a Yukos syndicate.<ref name="AB-sale">''[http://www.nafta.lt/en/news_item.php?pid=1&id=99 PKN Orlen Acquired Mazeikiu Nafta] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927172337/http://www.nafta.lt/en/news_item.php?pid=1&id=99 |date=2007-09-27 }}'', Mažeikių Nafta company website (news, 15-12-2006)</ref> After several months of talks the proposal from Polish company [[PKN Orlen]] was found most lucrative and chosen.

The agreement between Orlen and Yukos International to buy out the latter's 53.7% stake in the company, was made in June 2006. Several weeks later, PKN Orlen signed a deal with the Lithuanian government to buy a further 30.66%. The [[European Union]]'s regulatory authority approved the deal on November 7, after ruling that it would not significantly harm competition in the European economic area or any substantial part of it.<ref name="BalticTimes-2"/> The buyout was finalized on 15 December 2006, with US$1.492 billion paid by PKN Orlen to Yukos International, and US$851.8 million to the Lithuanian Government.<ref name="AB-sale"/>
