Notes for editors:
Successful closing of strategic deal for purchasing 49% of shares in one of the most sophisticated refineries in the world Essar Oil allowed Rosneft to enter one of the most dynamic global markets. Acquisition of stake in one of the largest and most modern refineries in India allows Rosneft to improve the efficiency of its trading arm in the Asia-Pacific Region.
Also, in 2016 a unique international energy hub on the basis of Vankor cluster of fields with 49.9% interest belonging to the state Indian companies as well as an international consortium on the basis of Rosneft subsidiary Taas-Yuryakh were created.
