OAO Rosneft hired OAO Gazprom’s deputy head of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, four people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Victoria Shterengarts joined Rosneft in Moscow as head of gas marketing and new markets this month, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
A spokesman for Rosneft and a spokeswoman for Gazprom Export declined to comment, asking not to be identified because of company policy.
Rosneft, the biggest publicly traded oil company by output, is poised to become an exporter of LNG after President Vladimir Putin ended Gazprom’s monopoly on foreign sales last year. Gazprom, the biggest gas producer, remains the sole exporter of pipeline fuel.
Putin ordered the government in June to consider opening access to Gazprom’s future pipelines from eastern Russia.
Rosneft has been seeking access to Gazprom’s planned Power of Siberia network to China since the beginning of the year. The Moscow-based company, which aims to almost double gas output to 100 billion cubic meters by 2020 compared with 55 billion this year, also plans to build an LNG plant in eastern Russia.
Vlada Rusakova, Rosneft’s vice president for its gas business, also joined last year after serving on Gazprom’s management board and heading its strategic development department.
