In his keynote at the Verona Eurasian Economic Forum in Baku, Azerbaijan on Oct. 27, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin spoke about Russia’s mega Vostok Oil Project. The ambitious project will be a hub for the northern oil fields in the Krasnoyarsk and Yamalo-Nenets regions—13 in total—and encompass the infrastructure needed to take full advantage of the Northern Sea Route for Russia’s growing oil trade.
