埃克森美孚放棄與俄油的合作項目
中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯3月2日消息，埃克森美孚正在結束與俄羅斯國有能源巨頭PAO Rosneft的合作項目，因針對俄羅斯的國際制裁，從而令該公司前首席執行長(CEO)、美國國務卿蒂勒森的標志性成就化為烏有。
埃克森美孚表示，在美國政府因俄羅斯被指控干預美國2016年總統選舉而對俄羅斯實施新的制裁后，該公司去年決定退出俄羅斯項目。在此之前，俄羅斯已經因其在烏克蘭的行動而受到美國和歐洲的制裁。
本次退出標志著埃克森美孚在俄羅斯北冰洋油田進行鉆探的希望破滅，俄羅斯的北冰洋油田被認為是全世界最大的未開采油氣盆地之一。埃克森美孚已經在北冰洋鉆了一口探井，稱取得了令人滿意的效果，但因制裁而不得不停工。埃克森美孚此前曾希望未來可能重新啟動鉆探，或者是由于獲得特朗普政府的豁免，或者是由于最終制裁得以取消。
蒂勒森在2011年和2012年達成上述交易，其中的安排由俄羅斯總統普京親自監督。蒂勒森后來獲得了俄羅斯的友誼勛章，該勛章是俄羅斯授予外國人的最高榮譽。

Exxon Abandons Russian Projects Brokered by Tillerson
Exxon Mobil Corp. is ending projects with Russia's state-controlled energy giant, PAO Rosneft, because of international sanctions on Moscow, abandoning signature achievements of former chief executive, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Exxon said it decided last year to withdraw after the U.S. government imposed new sanctions on Moscow for its alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election. Those penalties came on top of U.S. and European sanctions on Russia over its actions in Ukraine.
The withdrawal for now marks the end of Exxon's hopes of drilling in Russia's Arctic ocean oil fields, considered one of the world's great unexplored oil and gas basins. Exxon drilled one exploration well that it said produced promising results, but had to halt work because of sanctions. Exxon had hoped drilling could restart in the future, either with the blessing of the Trump administration or the eventual lifting of sanctions.
Mr. Tillerson had clinched those deals in 2011 and 2012, arrangements that were overseen personally by President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Tillerson later received the Order of Friendship, the highest honor Russia can bestow on a foreigner.
