Novatek, Gazprom Neft Discuss Asset Swap

摘要

Gazprom Neft and Novatek are dis- cussing an asset swap that should help each company maximize the potential of new production clusters. Gazprom Neft CEO Alexander Dyukov said the producer was consid- ering an acquisition of the Malo- Yamalskoye field on the Yamal Peninsula that is currently owned by Novatek. The field is located close to the giant Novy Port field, where Gazprom Neft is currently forming a new production cluster. In exchange, the company might transfer to Novatek stakes in two fields, Evo-Yakhinskoye and Severo-Chaselskoye, that belong to Arcticgas, a joint venture between the two companies, according to Dyukov.
