exploration and production company with its main assets in the Timan-Pechora 
region of Western Russia and the Caspian basin, today announces that Zhakyp 
Marabayev stepped down as Chairman of the Company on 25 March 2008 with

Board would like to thank Zhakyp for his  contribution to the Company to date 
and wishes him well in the future.

"Regretfully I have to leave the Company to pursue new avenues. I firmly believe 
that Timan has huge potential and wish the Board all  success in meeting its 
targets in the near future. The new appointment of Boris Litvak as Chairman, 
should strengthen the operational management focus of the Company given his 
significant experience in bringing major development programs on stream."
