The Natural Resources Ministry has extended by one month its investigation into TNK-BP’s largest oil field, a senior official said Tuesday, keeping up pressure against the embattled Russian-British oil firm.
“The investigation has been extended,” said Oleg Mitvol, deputy head of the ministry’s environmental watchdog and the official overseeing the investigation. “We should know the results within one month, that is, by May 20,” he said by telephone.
