continuation. Start - see the post above:
Well, I remembered that even while working at Asoneeft [a non-profit organization that has long defended the interests of independent oil and gas companies (NOCs)], I often heard from colleagues, including RNG employees, about this company's rather difficult relationship with its powerful neighbor in the licensing area. Therefore, I would not rule out at all that the "roots" of the current situation "grow" from them.
And to make this clear, I'll quote from my June 1, 2022 post "The most important thing now is to save every taxpayer, every job", which described how Asunft tried to help RNG repel what was not then the first attack on it:
Elena Kurzon, the CEO of the Association of Independent Oil and Gas Production Organizations AssoNeft:
"RNG is the second largest independent company in our sector, operating in the Sakha Republic. She is a member of our AssoNeft association. And we closely monitor the implementation of their project. Several years ago, hostile actions began against this company. We have all studied well the words of the President of the Russian Federation: "Stop making business a nightmare! This is especially relevant now. The most important thing now is to save every taxpayer, every job, to preserve this real business. We see that the ongoing investigations are really hindering the successful continuation of this project."
The Association of Independent Organizations for Oil and Gas Production "Asonpet" even addressed the Deputy Prime Minister of the Prime Minister in the statement of the situation. The head of the association is sure that in difficult and turbulent times, only local businesses can restore the country's economy. Experts believe that in this case it is necessary to create an important precedent for other oil and gas companies, which should be sure that the state will protect a transparent and successful business.
