Dear colleagues, dear friends!

Allow me to express my most heartfelt and sincere wishes on the occasion of the coming year of 2020. The outgoing year has seen many important business and corporate milestones reached. The upward trend has been maintained in the utilization of the CPC pipeline system: in 2019, as for many a year now, the Tengiz – Novorossiysk pipeline transported more crude oil than in the previous year. To date, the Consortium has loaded from Marine Terminal more than 6 thousand oil tankers with nearly 650 mln tonnes of black gold. This is a major milestone for the CPC’s entire close-knit and high-performance team operating crude oil transmission facilities from Tengiz to Novorossiysk. This milestone was reached: with integrity and accident-free, without incidents resulting in oil spills, and in full compliance with the HSE regulations. It will not be long before we are exporting even more crude oil to the global markets. In May 2019 CPC shareholders approved the Debottlenecking Programme (DBNP) in an attempt to increase throughput to nearly 80 mln tonnes of crude oil per year. We have started implementing the Program and would like to note the positive dynamics. I hope you ring in the New Year in high spirits. I wish you success and love. May all your dreams and wishes come true and you have all the good things in life that one can wish you in this wonderful holiday season. Let 2020 be a year of joy and professional success for you. May you always have your near and dear ones around you and your home know happiness, love and prosperity.

Sometimes, I know right from the start what I want to depict. And sometimes, an image takes shape while I’m draw- ing. I need an outlet for my crea- tivity. And what interests me here is the process rather than the end result. It is important to me to keep having experiences until I spill it all out in a drawing.” Irina did not get serious about drawing until after graduation. When she became a mum, she had to put her hobby on ice because she had no time for it. But her child is no longer a baby, and her pencils and paints are out once again. This is perhaps why her son showed an early apti- tude for art, and he is now happily enrolled in a children’s art school. The first people to appreciate Irina’s art were her parents. They look forward to and welcome with joy each new painting. The walls of the parental home are decorated with her miniature paintings. “Dad draws himself and does em- bossing, so his interest is professional to some extent,” says Irina. “And why did you choose water- colour rather than anything else?
