The employment agreement of Transneft CEO Semen Vainshtok is to expire today, on September 13. Vainshtok has headed the world's largest pipeline monopoly over the past eight years. On Tuesday Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Vainshtok to head up a state-run corporation that will be established to prepare Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Under his command Transneft launched the largest project in history of modern Russian to build the East Siberia – Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline that will link East and West Siberian fields with the Pacific Ocean and will open new opportunities for Russian crude exports. Vainshtok's successor has not yet been named, although news agencies view possible candidates as Zarubezhneft CEO Nikolay Tokarev, Gazprom's deputy board chairman Nikolay Golubev and even Industry and Energy Minister Victor Khristenko. Officially, the nominee should be appointed by Rosimuschestvo which owns Transneft stocks on behalf of the state. Meanwhile, state officials categorically decline to comment on the issue.
