2015/16 annual Shutdown Period

Rusneftegaz will be unable to respond to any nonessential communications, including electronic and telephone messages, between 24 December 2015 and 11 January 2016 due to an administrative shutdown during the Christmas period. It is imperative that messages be sent earlier to guarantee a response, although all communications received during the period will be monitored and replied to if necessary. We necessitate your cooperation and understanding with this matter.
