Gazprom, Shell to Exploit Outside Resources Speaking about the definite production amount or costs would be too early, as the protocol doesnt specify any final date, Jeroen van der Veer said. According to Alexander Medvedev, who is the deputy head of Gazprom Management Committee, they intend to make Yuzhno-Tambeiskoe field the resource base of the project. A firm affiliated with monopoly owns 25 percent plus a stock in it and Gazprombank is elaborating a feasibility study already. The reserves of Yuzhno-Tambeiskoe field are estimated at 1.3 billion cu meters of gas and the annual output is planned at between 20 billion cu meters and 25 billion cu meters. In 2005, Gazprombank-Invest acquired from NOVATEK 25.1 percent in Tambeineftegaz (license holder) and Alisher Usmanovs Gazmetall bought 75 percent less a stock in it in 2006. In Gazprom they refuse to explain the choice of the field that is beyond the monopolys control. The reason could be that the relations of Gazprom and Usmanov are very close. Usmanov, for instance, heads Gazprominvestholding, where the monopoly owns 100 percent and which concern is to resume Gazproms control over a number of assets. Gazprom may buy out Tambeineftegaz any time, a source familiar with the situation said. Last year, however, the stocks of the company were pawned to secure the VTB loan worth 50 billion rubles. |
