Sergey Kudryashov, the PM expressed support for the two companies’ proposal to
expand oil and gas survey and exploration in the two countries’ new blocks,
adding that he has requested accelerating negotiations to promptly sign an
inter-governmental agreement on oil and gas production joint-venture.
He also thanked President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev for
their support of oil and gas collaboration between Vietnam and Russia,
including offering tax incentives for Rusvietpetro’s operation in several
blocks in Nhenhexky autonomous region.
Underlining the effective coordination between Zarubezneft and PetroVietnam
with their successful joint-ventures Vietsopetro and Rusvietpetro, Kudryashov

Since September 2010, Rusvietpetro has pumped 8.78 million tonnes of oil,
raking in close to 4.6 billion USD in revenue and 1 billion USD in after-tax
