MOSCOW, Feb 5 (PRIME) -- Russian oil major Rosneft, the Finance Ministry, and the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry have signed an investment agreement to stimulate oil production at the Priobskoye oilfield, the Finance Ministry and the company said in a joint statement on Friday.
“Under the agreement, Rosneft undertakes obligations of additional investment in development of oil production at the Priobskoye field,” the statement read.

This mechanism will help state support achieve its goals of improving investment attractiveness of the company and supporting development of several sectors of the economy,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said as quoted in the statement.
