Congratulations with the Oilman’s Day from Rosneft President Igor Sechin

Dear friends and colleagues! 

This is a celebration of courageous and strong-minded people whose heroic efforts turned Russia into the world's major energy power. The job of oilers and gas workers is recognized by the community and requires high skills, responsibility and self-possession. Sustainable development of Russia and security of our country largely depends on your successful work.On behalf of Rosneft Oil Company and on my personal behalf, I am pleased to congratulate you with our professional holiday, the Oilman’s Day.

Oil and gas sector is truly called the engine of the national economy. Development of the perspective fields in the East Siberia and the Far East, Arctic and Far-East seas means not only an increase in hydrocarbon production, but also dynamic development of the regions, creation of high-tech industries, new jobs.

Start of drilling in the Kara Sea and commissioning of Berkut platform offshore Sakhalin became the most important events of this year.

Development of Arkutun-Dagi and Northern Chayvo fields is still ahead.
Results of the first half of the year confirm the status of our Company as the largest public oil and gas company in the world. Daily production is maintained at a consistently high level and exceeds 563 thousand tons of oil, while gas production increased to 147 million cubic meters per day.

But of course our main pride is our people. They are noted for their commitment and devotion to the chosen profession, determined character and sense of purpose.

On this occasion with all my heart I wish you all who work for the benefit of the Russia's oil and gas industry, good health, happiness and future success! Wish you all the best.

Happy Oilman's Day!
