MOSCOW (Thomson Financial) – A subsidiary of Russian-British oil major TNK-BP Holdings could lose its license for the massive Kovykta gas field in Siberia before June 1, a top environmental official warned today.
Checks on licence compliance at the field have begun and in the event that they reveal ‘substantial violations, they could lose their license before June 1,’ Oleg Mitvol, deputy head of environmental watchdog Rosprirodnadzor, told AFP.
‘According to the law, the likelihood is 100 pct,’ he said.
TNK-BP (nyse: BP – news – people ) subsidiary RUSIA Petroleum has fallen far short of its commitment to produce 9 bln cubic metres of gas annually, producing only 33.8 mln cubic metres in 2006, according to Mitvol’s agency.
The company contends it cannot produce the required amount because state gas monopoly Gazprom will not allow it to build a planned export pipeline to China.
TNK-BP, which is 50 pct owned by oil major BP PLC and 50 pct owned by Russia’s Alfa Access Renova, values the Kovykta field at 2 bln usd.

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.
