NK RussNeft OAO has eliminated the violations in the terms of the license agreement at a number of oilfields in the Tomsk region, as Interfax was informed by the local administration natural resources control committee’s deputy chairman Nickolay Ilyin.
He pointed out that the observance of the license agreements by the Company has been considered at the meeting of the RF Natural Resources Ministry’s Suboil Use Committee on the 31st of August.
“A year ago the RF Natural Resources Ministry revealed some violations in observance of the license agreements at the Poselkovoye, Stolbovoye, Duklinskoye and Sredne-Vasyuganskoye oilfields which have been completely eliminated by today,” – he noted. By the time of the meeting the violation had been eliminated.
