RUSSIA: Surgutneftegaz Elects New Chairman
2007-12-19 22:47:00 Closely held oil firm Surgutneftegaz has elected a career oil manager, Vladimir Yerokhin, as its new chairman after the previous head of the board of directors, Nikolai Zakharchenko, resigned for health reasons. Surgut said in a statement that Yerokhin, who has headed Surgut's drilling division for over 30 years but became a director only earlier this year, had been elected Tuesday and would serve until the next annual meeting. It did not give Yerokhin's age. The firm's web site says he was born in 1949. Analysts closely watch changes at reclusive Surgut, as the company is repeatedly rumored to be an acquisition target given its complicated shareholding structure and billions of dollars of spare cash in its accounts. State-controlled energy majors Gazprom and Rosneft have often been named as potential bidders, although the firms and Surgut's influential general director, Vladimir Bogdanov, have repeatedly denied the speculation.Via: Reuters

RUSSIA: Tomskneft Split Seen in Cards
2007-12-19 22:43:00 Rosneft will split its Tomskneft oil unit 50-50 with Gazprom, boosting the oil business of the gas behemoth, sources close to the deal said.The deal will end a guessing game over the real owners of the 240,000-barrel-per-day oil unit. Rosneft had said it sold half of Tomskneft in July after buying the unit in May at a Yukos bankruptcy auction.Tomskneft would become the first Yukos asset that Rosneft has agreed to share. The move comes days after President Vladimir Putin blessed Gazprom chairman Dmitry Medvedev's presidential candidacy."Tomsk's cash flows as well as production volumes and export marketing will be equally split from January," one source said Tuesday, adding that Gazprom would own the stake through its Gazprom Neft unit.Rosneft bought Tomskneft and other assets of Yukos in one lot in May for $6.8 billion in a deal that brought Rosneft's total debt to over $30 billion. The state oil firm later said it sold half the firm to Vneshekonombank, or VEB, for $3.4 billion.Bu...

RUSSIA: La compañía operadora del proyecto energético Sajalín-2 pagará 11 m
2007-09-06 16:05:00 La compañía operadora del proyecto energético Sajalín-2 pagará 11 millones de dólares por contaminar el medio ambiente de esta isla rusa del Pacífico, anunció Ian Craig, director del consorcio Sakhalin Energy. "El pago por daños medioambientales corresponde al operador del proyecto", aseguró Craig durante la conferencia internacional "Petróleo y Gas en Sajalín", citado por la agencia Interfax. Craig explicó que esa suma fue establecida por el Organismo de Protección Medioambiental de Rusia (OPMR) en concepto de compensación. Las autoridades rusas amenazaron en septiembre del pasado año a Sakhalin Energy con suspender el proyecto si no garantizaba la seguridad ecológica del mismo y, por la misma razón, paralizaron en diciembre las obras de construcción de su principal gasoducto. Las amenazas de suspensión del proyecto cesaron cuando los integrantes del consorcio operador desde 1994 -la anglo-holandesa Royal Dutch/Shell y las japonesas Mitsui y Mitsubishi- vendieron la mitad de sus ac...
