The Agreement was signed by Igor Sechin, Rosneft President and Chairman of the Management Board, and Fu Chengyu, Chairman of the Sinopec's Board of Directors in the presence of Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of PRC.

The Memorandum assumes supplies of crude oil in the volume of up to 100 mmt for 10 years starting from 2014 based on advance payment.

The agreement will help Rosneft arrange additional funding for exploration and production projects and construction of the necessary infrastructure".
