Novatek JV plans Sever stake

摘要

A joint venture of Russia's leading independent gas producer Novatek and oil producer Gazprom Neft plans to buy Gazprom's 51% stake in Severenergia, the Russian-Italian venture developing gas fields in West Siberia, Gazprom Neft said late September 7.rnThe move would be something of a surprise as gas giant Gazprom only bought the stake from Italian companies Eni and Enel late last year for $1.6 billion.
