Former CEO of BP wants to buy "Bashneft" and "Russneft"

According to the observer of Sky News, Mark Kleinmann, the ex -head of the BP can aim at both assets and one - a share in Bashneft. In case of success, Russian acquisitions will allow VallaRes to lay the way to create an oil -producing conglomerate. “It will also summarize the enormous state of the founders of VallaRes in the form of securities. According to the conditions for attracting funds, Heyword, Roghild and two other founders, at the end of the transaction, will receive 7.6% of the market value of their company, expressed in securities,” Bfm.ru is quoted by Bfm.ru business portal.
