Work will continue as previously planned and will see development of and commercial production at the Tazovsky field to start by the end of 2020.

Gazprom Neft said the decision by Shell with regard to this deal will not impact its commitment to developing its business in Russia, including cooperation with Gazprom Neft, on current and potential new opportunities.
