Rosneft to continue drilling in Arctic

• Rosneft (OTCPK:RNFTF) will continue drilling in the Arctic Kara Sea on its own, despite the departure of its partner, ExxonMobil, due to sanctions.
• "We will continue drilling in any case, on our own, always and everywhere. If partners can take part - that's good, if they can't - we will carry on alone," says Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin.
• Exxon suspended its partnership with Rosneft in the Arctic due to U.S. sanctions over Moscow's involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
