SAMSUN (Turkey), November 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft will export 243 million metric tons of crude in 2005, 3% less than planned, company Chief Executive Semyon Vainshtok said Thursday.
"We increased exports in the first 10 months [of 2005] by 13 million tons compared to 2004, but deliveries to oil refineries fell by 9 million tons, so you could say growth was only 4 million tons," he said.
