Introduction In this survey we describe the current state of corporate governance in Russia and discuss its dynamics and prospects. Corporate governance has become an important topic in Russia once again, and there is a clear trend among the largest Russian companies to adhere to good corporate governance standards by increasing disclosure, complying with international accounting standards, placing “independent directors” on boards, and adopting corporate governance codes, for example. There have also been initiatives to improve corporate governance from the government, regulators and various private agencies. The government is adopting new laws and amendments to the existing laws.

  • Sakhalin Energy Projects Face Reality Check
    SAKHALIN ENERGY PROJECTS FACE REALITY CHECK By Sergei Blagov Eurasian Daily Monitor Wednesday, July 27, 2005 As the Shell-led Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the Russian Far East faces cost overruns and delays, now Russian Sakhalin ventures appear to be facing a reality check, cooling Moscow's ambitious plans to tap lucrative energy markets in the Asia-Pacific. Earlier this month, Sakhalin region governor Ivan Malakhov met Mitsui executives, headed by CEO Shoei Utsuda, to discuss the Sakhalin-2 project. The Mitsui "delegation came to the island to inspect the project first hand, including construction of pipelines from the north to the south of the island, and one of the world's largest LNG plants," according to the Sakhalin regional administration (RIA- Novosti, July 18). Although the official statement was short on specific details, there was a major reason for concerns relative to the Sakhalin-2: the project's cost estimates have doubled to $20 billion. One of Russia's major offshore projects, it has reserves of some 150 million tons of oil and 500 billion cubic meters of gas. Oil production at Sakhalin-2 started in 1999. Royal Dutch/Shell has raised cost estimates for Sakhalin-2 and postponed the first LNG shipment from the end of 2007 to summer 2008. Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer has conceded an "absolutely staggering" $10 billion cost overrun on Sakhalin-2. Russian officials, including the Ministry of Industry and Energy, Rosenergo, and the Ministry of Finance, are yet to comment on Shell's raised cost estimates for Sakhalin- 2 (RIA-Novosti, July 15).
