TNK – BP which is a oil company that is made up as a joint venture between the countries of Britain and Russia has hit a snag in their operation plans as some of the main players in the company might be forced to leave the headquarters which is located in Russia as their visas will be expiring and are having trouble getting the new applications processed.

The number of top managers that could be back in Britain is up to ten according to TNK-BP source. In addition to the top managers being forced out as soon as next week all of the other staff from Britain in the joint operation might be heading back over the summer month of July.

The latest visa issue is just one of the many problems piling up on the joint oil operation where as of late many of Russia’s share holders have been trying to gain control over the company in order to remove British company president Robert Dudley.

The visa expiration situation has appeared since the request for the number of visas was reduced by Russian stock holders from 150 visas to 63. One of the Russian representatives of the TNK-BP company Stan Polovet commented “Russia has enough talented and experienced engineers and managers and we want to further the qualifications of specifically Russian experts.”

TNK-BP is experiencing a common scene across Russia where more company specifically in the energy industry are fighting to gain control from foreign influence and management.
