Russia not to share the former Ukrainian deposits in the Crimea?.

The projects of foreign investors in Crimea are at stake.

After entering the Crimea to Russia on his shelf the Russian legislation will begin to work prohibiting the access of non-state and foreign companies. In this regard, "Chernomorneftegaz", which holds the license on the Crimean shelf, will have to transfer them to "Gazprom". The PSA companies with Eni, EdF and "The Waters of Ukraine" will be under threat of collapse unless Moscow does not provide the foreign investors "the grandfather clause", which once kept the conditions for Sakhalin PSA.

Yesterday, Gennady Khramov, the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology, stated that the land on the Crimean shelf after its entry into Russia can qualify for federal "with the application of the rules and regulations of the Russian legislation". Only state-owned companies with relevant experience for at least five years can work on the shelf, that is, "Gazprom" and "Rosneft". But, an official stated, the extension of the provisions of the law on the existing agreements will be further discussed, there is no decision on this matter.
