"As per logistics, we have something to discuss with the Polish logistics companies," he said. "The transportation costs amounted to $2 billion. We also encourage Polish companies to deliver Polish goods to the Tengiz field. It will require 1,100 km of pipelines, and almost 5,000 km of cable products."
