For which Sechin company requires 89 billion rubles from its partners in "Sakhalin-1" https://www.bbc.com/russian/news-44927262
The Sakhalin Arbitration Court accepted the claim of Rosneft to the Sakhalin-1 project participants for a total of almost 89 billion rubles ($ 1.4 billion). Among the respondents are two "daughters" of Rosneft. The dispute spun around the Chayvo field in the north of Sakhalin.
In the court's decision to accept the claim for production, it is indicated that it is "about recovering unjust enrichment and interest for using other people's money."
Expert Marcel Salikhov, in a conversation with the BBC, called the claim of Rosneft unprecedented and strange.
The case of billions: how "Rosneft" Igor Sechin sued "Sistema"
Igor Sechin is waiting for a deficit in the oil market. Is he alone?
"The case came to this": Exxon withdraws from joint projects with Rosneft
The largest amount (for 26.7 billion rubles) of the company Igor Sechin requires Exxon Neftegaz Limited (the "daughter" of the US ExxonMobil) and the Japanese Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Co.. (SODECO). Each of these companies owns 30% of the project.
The suit also includes Indian ONGC Videsh Limited. Two more companies, to which claims are filed - Sakhalinmorneftegaz-shelf and RN-Astra, are affiliated with Rosneft, through which it controls 20% of the Sakhalin-1 project.
A preliminary court hearing on the suit of Rosneft is scheduled for September 10, 2018.
The company operator of Sakhalin-1 Exxon Neftegaz Limited said that it does not agree with the claims and intends to "take measures to protect the rights of the consortium." Representatives of Rosneft have not commented on this issue.
The essence of the dispute is that one part of the field is being developed by the Sakhalin-1 consortium, while the other part (the so-called Northern Chayvo) is Rosneft itself, the head of the Economics Department of the Institute of Energy and Finance, Marcel Salikhov, explained to the BBC Russian Service .
Rosneft believes that there is a flow of oil from their site, the northern one, which they themselves develop, to the central, southern part, which is being developed by Sakhalin-1. That is, they believe that the oil, which under license terms belongs to them, flows to that part of the field that is being developed by Sakhalin-1, and therefore they demand that this amount of oil flow back to them, "he explained.
According to the expert, there are such disputes in the oil industry, but usually the parties determine whether there is such a flow, and agree among themselves, without disagreeing in a public trial. In this sense, he calls the suit of Rosneft unprecedented.
"In this sense, I do not think there were such precedents, at least for large companies." And this looks strange, because Rosneft itself participates in Sakhalin 1. One can agree with their "daughters" somehow "- says Salikhov.
The source of RBC, close to the participants of the consortium, says that the flow of oil from one field to another is an old problem that the parties to the agreement recognize, but they can not solve by negotiation yet.
Another interlocutor of RBC notes that the reserves of Northern Chayvo are declining more than production at the field. "Whether it is lower in depth, or the PSA somehow pulls out wells out of the wells," he supposes.
According to Vedomosti, Rosneft received a license for the development of Northern Chayvo in 2011 at a tender for which only it was tendered, while the development of this field was carried out using the infrastructure of the Sakhalin-1 project and in cooperation with project partners.
In addition to Chayvo, the Sakhalin-1 project includes the development of two more deposits - Odoptu and Arkutun-Dagi, which are also located on the northeastern shelf of Sakhalin.
"Rosneft" under the direction of Igor Sechin is not the first time to get other large market participants to pay through the court.
The dispute with the "System" In 2017, Rosneft filed a multi-billion claim against AFK Sistema. Claims, "Rosneft" were associated with the reorganization in the company Bashneft, which in 2009-2014 owned holding Vladimir Yevtushenkov. Since November 2016, Bashneft has become Rosneft's property.
Rosneft was confident that as a result of the reorganization that took place in 2014, Bashneft lost 106.6 billion rubles, and taking into account the dynamics of exchange rates, 170.6 billion rubles.
In August 2017, the Arbitration Court of Bashkiria ruled to recover 136.3 billion rubles ($ 2.3 billion) from AFK Sistema in favor of Rosneft.
The dispute of the companies reached the president Vladimir Putin, who in September said that he was counting on a settlement of lawsuits between the parties to the lawsuit.
As a result, Rosneft and Bashneft agreed terms of a settlement agreement with AFK Sistema. According to the agreement, Evtushenkov's company was to pay 100 billion rubles to Bashneft. |
