Russian-British oil venture TNK-BP may participate in Russia's Skolkovo hi tech research hub, the project's president said in an interview with the Russia Today TV channel on Monday.
Viktor Vekselberg, whose investment and business development company Renova owns 12.5 percent of the oil venture, said the decision rested with TNK-BP's shareholders and management.
Vekselberg announced earlier this month that he would step down as TNK-BP gas business executive director next year. President of Integrated Energy Systems Holding Mikhail Slobodin has been tipped as next in line to fill the post.
