Rosneft does not agree with the assessment of the EMF-networking sites on the shelf.

"Rosneft" believes that about 60% of prospective areas on the continental shelf of the Russian Federation are still in the undistributed fund, while the RF Ministry of Natural Resources informs that only 20% of the sites are not distributed, and the remaining 80% have already been transferred to the state-controlled "Rosneft" and "Gazprom".

"According to Rosnedra, promising shelf area is 4.4 million square kilometers, and distributed Fund today covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometers, respectively, the share of long-term undistributed fund is 60% that is a bigger part of it. It is a strategically important issue", - "Rosneft" reported.
