Russian independent oil and gas company Lukoil has announced that it is moving its international headquarters from Moscow to Dubai
A company spokesperson in Moscow said that the move would begin within weeks and would be completed by the end of 2013, UAE-daily The National reported.
About 400 employees will relocate to UAE as part of the transfer, which will aim to bring executives and staff closer to major assets – chiefly Iraq’s giant oilfield West Qurna-2, located west of Basra.
More than 600 Lukoil employees are already based in the emirate, he added.
Late last year Saadi Al-Jebouri, Lukoil’s Dubai-based executive director for the Middle East, was promoted to senior vice president of Lukoil Overseas.
Lukoil Overseas is responsible for all the company’s non-Russian upstream activities, accounting for about 13 per cent of its overall revenues, according to Lukoil.
