"Theoretically, there was a possibility to continue the work, but it was necessary to obtain a newpermit," Kommersant reported, citing one of the unnamed sources. "But (ExxonMobil) failed to get it.ExxonMobil should stop work and evacuate its personnel by mid-October."

Rosneft declined to comment on the report. ExxonMobil was not immediately available for comment.

Re-energize with clean carbon-free fuels — for life!Re-invent ExxonMobil as an energy company, be more than an oil & gas company.Re-direct capital investments from carbon-based infrastructure to carbon-free infrastructure.Announce a retirement schedule for your refineries — let the end-game begin...

Your "leadership by example would usher in a new era...."

Please meet me for coffee — Let's talk about the urgency and deadline to protect all life from:..

Extreme weather  - Increasing death/damage from more heat waves, high winds & high water.Hunger and thirst - Increasing drought/famine from natural & anthropogenic water shortages. Disease and pestilence - Harmful critters, parasites and bacteria are already on the move.Social unrest and economic upheaval - We have seen precursors — worse is yet to come.
