MOSCOW, November 22 (Itar-Tass) — Russia’s Rosneft company and British Petroleum (BP) Company have signed agreements on joint work in the East Shmidt and West Shmidt licensed sections of the Sakhalin-5 and Sakhalin-4 projects.
The agreements envisage 700-million-dollar investments in oil production within the next five years, Rosneft sources said on Wednesday.
The shares of the Russian and British companies in the joint implementation of the projects are 51 and 49 percent respectively, the Prime Tass economic news agency said.
The joint venture Elvary Neftegaz, created for the development of the Kaigansko-Vasyukansky section of the Sakhalin-5 projects, will manage the projects operationally.
It is expected that British Petroleum will finance geological surveys in both sections, including the drilling of six wells, up to their commercial commissioning. Later, Rosneft will compensate BP’s expenses from its share of oil output.
Rosneft’s subsidiaries – Vostok-Shmidt Neftegaz and Zapad-Shmidt Neftegaz – are subsoil users in both sections.
Currently, those sections are being explored. A unified strategy for the implementation of the Sakhalin-4 and Sakhalin-5 projects is being developed.
Common infrastructure for crude oil production and transportation will help to minimize capital costs for the two projects and create the largest oil and gas producing facility in Sakhalin’s north.
In connection with the signing of the agreements, the heads of the British Petroleum and Rosneft, John Brown and Sergei Bogdanchikov, also signed a joint statement, which expressed satisfaction with the accords that pave the way to the next stage of cooperation between the two companies.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
