12:22 GMT 01.10.2018 (Updated: 13:45 GMT 01.10.2018) In July, Russia’s largest oil company, Rosneft, filed a lawsuit against five entities - Sakhalinmorneftegaz, RN-Astra, Exxon Neftegas Ltd, Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Co., and ONGC Videsh Limited, accusing these firms of "unjust enrichment and interest gained by using other people’s money" and claimed $1.4 billion in damages
India's state-owned ONGC Videsh Ltd and its partners will pay $230 million to Russian energy giant Rosneft in an out of court settlement of a dispute regarding oil production in Russia's Sakhalin-1 oil field.

"We have agreed for an out-of-court settlement and the consortium has agreed to pay $230 million," N.K. Verma, managing director, ONGC Videsh, told reporters in New Delhi.
Verma said that the Indian firm has already made the payment to Rosneft.

The Indian state-owned firm holds 20% interest in the Sakhalin-1 project that it bought way back in 2001 for $1.7 billion. The project started production in 2005.
Gas production from the project — India's first major investment in Russia's energy sector — is increasing after Russia lifted output restrictions as part of a global deal with OPEC. Verma stated that production at the Sakhalin-1 project reached 250,000 barrels per day, up from some 200,000 bpd.
