Russian companies Noyatek and Gazprom have purchased Era's 30 percent stake in Sever Energia, thwarting Rosneft's efforts to do the same, according to Reuters. The Novatek-Gazprom alliance purchased Eni's 60 percent stake in Arctic Russia, a joint venture which owns 49 percent of Sever Energia itself. The transaction comes shortly after Rosneft purchased End's 40 percent stake in Arctic Russia and was rumored to be pursuing Eni's stake. Had Rosneft been successful in both purchases, the company would have ended up with a 49% stake in Sever Energia, which is expected to produce 36 billion cubic meters of gas and liquids by 2017.
