Ekythump, Awesome post! Further proof that North-West Oil and Mr. Malyshev are in with the big players in Russian oil.
" An eye-catching open letter appeared in one of Russia's biggest newspapers in October. The letter was addressed by a certain Mr. Malyshev, general director of SZNG or Northwestern Oil Group ... This conscientious firm is very closely linked to Putin's St. Petersburg associates. "
We'll have to keep our eye on the TNT-BP Saratovneftegaz sale.
