In 2011-2013, the Government of Abkhazia signed contracts with Russia oil companies and later gave them licenses for offshore oil extraction projects. In May 2014 then Abkhazian President Alexander Ankvab welcomed Eduard Khudainatov’s NNK in Abkhazia. In June 2015 Rosneft, who has 45-year license for offshore activities in Abkhazia, was given three years more to prospect the country’s sea shelf.

The Abkhazian authorities have drafted a bill banning extraction and production of oil and gas in Abkhazia as this is bad not only for nature but also for agriculture and tourism. On July 8, the bill was removed from the parliament’s agenda. Its supporters demand a 30-year ban on offshore oil projects.
