18.        Related party disclosures 
 
Transactions between PetroNeft Resources plc and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation. Details of
transactions between the Group and other related parties are disclosed below. 
 
Vakha Sobraliev, a Director of PetroNeft, is the principal of LLC Tomskburneftegaz ("TBNG") which has drilled production
and exploration wells for the Group. Various contracts for drilling have been awarded to TBNG in recent years following
competitive tendering processes. All drilling contracts with TBNG are "turnkey" contracts whereby TBNG assumes
substantially all liabilities in relation to the health and safety, environmental and other risks associated with drilling
operation. As part of this relationship PetroNeft Group companies also occasionally sell sundry goods and services to TBNG.
Other companies related to TBNG also provide some services to the Group such as transportation, power management and
repairs. 
 
The following is a summary of the transactions:
