The Russian state-owned oil giant laid the table for a potential multi-billion dollar contracting feast on Wednesday when vice president Andrey Shishkin touted the newbuild requirement for Norwegian suppliers gathered at an Intsok event at the ONS Norway conference in Stavanger.
He said around 106 platforms are likely to be required to exploit the estimated 273 billion barrels of oil equivalent of recoverable resources held in Rosneft's Arctic licences, as well as 15 drilling rigs and 400 support vessels, with an estimated 1600 production wells to be drilled offshore.
