Anglo-Russian oil producer TNK-BP Ltd. expects to sell its first crude oil cargo at Russia's new oil port in Kozmino on the Pacific Coast in mid-January, the company's vice-president for sales and logistics Jonathan Kollek said Monday.
TNK-BP, owned on a 50-50 basis by U.K. oil major BP PLC (BP) and a group of Russian businessmen, plans to ship 2.2 million metric tons of oil next year through the East Siberia Pacific Ocean pipeline to Kozmino, Kollek said.
This year, TNK-BP, will export 35.82 million tons of oil, up 9% from last year.
