According to Rosneft, implementation of drilling works at both blocks simultaneously will ensure synergy between the two projects.

"Despite the difficult macroeconomic situation, we are expanding our cooperation in the area of exploration and production of hydrocarbons."

The drilling works will also help reduce the timelines for implementation of works and increase the efficiency of exploration activities at the company’s assets in Vietnam.

Rosneft management board chairman Igor Sechin said: "We have always welcomed participation of high technology partners from Japan in implementation of the company’s projects.
