摘要：“It’s all our money”, said Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft, during a conference call on Tuesday 24th October 2012. He was talking about the dividends of the jointventure TNK-BP from the first half of 2012. Due to the conflict between the shareholders of BP and AAR, a consortium of Russian “oligarchs”, they had not been paid out. The Sunday before this announcement Sechin had come back from London, where he had signed a deal with BP on the takeover of its half of TNK-BP. In exchange, the British oil major would get US-$17.1 billion plus 12.84% of Rosneft’s shares. Later, BP would buy an additional 5.66% of Rosneft’s shares. Back in Moscow, Sechin inked a deal with AAR to buy their part of the joint venture for US-$28 billion. Not many details emerged on this agreement, however. The AAR “oligarchs” may yet receive parts of the sum in Rosneft shares, as a concession to “liberal” factions in Moscow. However, the bigger part is likely to be in cash, with a tacit agreement that they will reinvest the major part of it in Russia.
