Russia and Uzbekistan finalize intergovernmental agreement on oil supplies

“Discussion of an intergovernmental agreement on oil supplies to Uzbekistan is at the final stage,” he said.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Energy Minister Kirill Molodtsov said that Gazprom Neft is exploring the possibility of supplying up to 1 million tonnes of oil to Uzbekistan next year, but everything will depend on the throughput of the transport system.

TASS earlier reported quoting the source familiar with the negotiations of the parties, Uzbekistan in the long term would like to receive from Russia 1 million tonnes of oil, and after 2020 to increase supplies to 3 million tonnes.
