EuroTech arranged for the detailed analysis of a high sulphur crude oil to be produced from Prirazlomnoe oil field located in the Barents Sea. Marketing analyses and technical and economic evaluations were then carried out to determine the feasibility and economic effectiveness of selling and refining this crude oil. Discussions took place with the major refiners of north-west Europe, including BP, Shell, Total, Esso, Mobil, Neste to determine the possibility of processing the crude oil from the Prirazlomnoe oil field at their refineries. EuroTech also provided ZAO Rosshelf with a long term forecast of the price of the crude oil.
