Russia Approves Total’s Purchase of Stake in Yamal LNG Project

Russia’s key foreign investment panel on Wednesday cleared Total’s purchase of a 20% stake in the multibillion-dollar Yamal LNG project. Approval by the government commission on control of foreign investments — chaired by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin — opens the way for finalization of the deal that Total agreed earlier this year with Novatek, Russia’s biggest independent gas producer.
