MOSCOW, Sept 3: Russia's top oil producer Rosneft has postponed the opening of its giant Vankor oil field from end of 2008 until mid-2009, one of its directors was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
“The postponement of the launching of this project is linked to its enlargement,” Russia's Interfax news agency quoted the group's vice-president Mikhail Stavsky as saying.
