I am very pleased that the company Rosneft has joined today to sign a

strategic partnership agreement with one of the worlda**s leaders on this

market, ExxonMobil. This project promises to be highly interesting and

ambitious. Today's event is sure to receive a positive reaction from the

world energy markets; Exxonas exploration of Russiaas strategic

continental and deep water shelf will open new horizons.

Of course, the scope of investment in this project is very large. In all,

direct investments will amount to 200-300 billion. Including funding for

development, infrastructure and new construction, the amount of investment

could reach 500 billion.

ExxonMobil is certainly one of the worlda**s leading companies that also

operates in difficult conditions of the Arctic. It is my understanding

that your company has worked on the continental shelf for about 50 years

and has developed unique technology. I was surprised to learn that your

platform in Canada can sustain an impact from a one-tonne iceberg.

For Rosneft, this offers great prospects. Mr. Tillerson, I believe that an

agreement has been reached with your colleagues that will allow Rosneft to

work in your fields, including in the United States, in the Gulf of

Mexico, Texas, and to participate in a number of joint projects in the

territory of third countries (but this is a question of both companiesa**

bilateral relations).
