On the 14th of September 2005, the Ministry of Natural Resources reviewed the current status of development at Novatek’s fields in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District for compliance with terms and conditions of our license agreements. Based on reviews carried out in July and August 2005, the Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a warning for violations of the license agreement for the Yumantilskiy license area.
