摘要

Moscow-Novatek, Russia's largest independent gas producer, has been informed by Russian authorities that it is the only qualifying bidder for licenses to develop four natural gas fields on Russia's Yamal Peninsula, company CFO Mark Gyetvay said May 17. "We expect positive confirmation [that we have won the tenders] in June," Gyetvay said on a first-quarter results conference call, adding that Novatek would announce its development plans after receiving the licenses.
