Tatneft PJSC said Thursday that its chief geologist and deputy general director, Rais S. Khisamov, is resigning from the company as he is retiring.

The Russian oil major said Mr. Khisamov has been working for the company for nearly 50 years and held the role of chief geologist since 1997.

The head of oil-and-gas-fields geology department, Albert Bachkov, will replace him as acting chief geologist, the company added.
