The Shareholders inspected the Station territory, mainline and fire pump buildings, visited the operators’ center.
– The visit to the Station greatly pleased me. The facility has been completed at a high technology level, with high quality. We were also impressed by the serious preparation of the Operations’ representatives: we asked them a lot of questions and none of them remained unanswered properly, – commented Andrew McGrahan, CPC-R Board Chairman, Chevron Neftegaz Inc. President.
In late afternoon the Shareholder delegation took part in the opening of a new kindergarten in Staromyshastovskaya Cossack Village. The red ribbon was cut by Leonid Bokhanovskiy and William Simpson, Deputy General Directors, Transneft Vice President Mikhail Barkov and Sergey Samoilyuk, First Deputy Head of Dinsky District.
– We, in CPC, build many facilities – crude pipeline, pump stations, tank farms, but the kindergarten is of no less importance to us, as well. It was anything but simple to build it, and on such a tight schedule. But what all those difficulties mean compared to the efforts of bringing up and educating children, turning them into true citizens. I wish your district development and prosperity, and CPC, as socially oriented Company, will support your initiatives with pleasure, – said William Simpson, CPC Deputy General Director, Engineering and Projects.
