Offices to tEMPORARILY cLOSE

Following various ordinances on 20 and 21 October, Rusneftegaz can announce that it shall temporarily close its Moscow headquarters on 28 October, and that all regional offices will suspend operations between 30 October and 7 November due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As a consequence of these decrees, our administrative staff will have a restricted capacity to respond to any nonessential communications, including both electronic and telephone messages until the end of this period.  Whilst a considerable percentage of staff and contractors shall continue to work as normal and or have previously been directed to work remotely, Rusneftegaz has and will continue to be vigilant in maintaining strong preventative measures to prevent contamination on company property. This includes, but is not limited to, the mandatory use of facemasks, the deployment of sanitizer and the implementation of distancing measures. All such provisions are under regular review and will be changed as and when it is deemed appropriate and or necessary. We necessitate the cooperation and understanding of all employees, contractors and external parties at this time.
