The company has no more hope of stopping that action through the courts, and new BP head Tony Hayward made a last attempt to stop it through negotiations with Gazprom. Industry analysts are certain that TNK-BP will lose its license and think Gazprom may get it. Rinat Gizatulin, press secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources, told Kommersant yesterday that a Rosnedra commission will meet today to consider ending the right to use the Kovykta deposit early. The license for Kovykta is now held by TNK-BP-controlled Rusia Petroleum.

| EUROASIA: Kazakhstan Aims to Increase Oil Production 7.7% Next Year | | 2007-05-24 13:52:00 | | by Nariman GizitdinovKazakhstan, the second-largest oil producer in the former Soviet Union after Russia, aims to increase production of oil and gas condensate by 7.7 percent in 2008 to 70 million tons. By 2009, output is expected to climb to 78 million metric tons, meaning annual growth will accelerate to 11 percent, the government forecast in an economic report published today by state-run Kazakhstanskaya Pravda.
