The website Barentsnova.com says a source close to Shtokman Development AG has off-the-record confirmed the appointment of Zagorovsky to take over the position.
Neft Rossia confirms that the board of directors of Shtokman Development AG has approved a new head of the company, but the only official information is that the appointed is a “man from Gazprom.”
If officially confirmed, it is no surprise. Zagorovsky is one of the names mentioned in most speculations about whom to take over the position after Yury Komarov resigned from his post as CEO of Shtokman Development AG in April this year.
Alexey Zagorovsky (44) comes from the position as Deputy General Director of the Gazprom Dobycha Shelf. Gazprom Dobycha Shelf was established in 2008 as a Gazprom unit specialized in shelf development. The company now has all Gazprom’s licenses to offshore fields, including for the Shtokman field.
