ROSNEFT INVITES NOV

OGPE. Rosneft (MOEX: ROSN) has invited National Oilwell Varco (NOV) to jointly manufacture offshore drilling platforms at OJSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard in Primorye.

Rosneft President Igor Sechin proposed formation of a working group to develop more detailed plans for cooperation and preparation of a memorandum of understanding at a meeting in Seoul with NOV CEO Joe Rovig and Senior Vice President Connie Watson.

Sechin also said that Rosneft planned to overhaul its fleet of drilling equipment under the technical re-equipment program at drilling division RN-Burenie. "In that connection, Rosneft invites you to participate in developing designs for onshore drilling rigs and putting localization principles into practice by placing orders for construction of a Russian plant," Rosneft said.
