Slavneft Eyes Debut Foreign Loan

摘要

Russia's Slavneft is said to be seeking to raise $1 billion from its first loan with international banks after origi- nally targeting just $750 million from 11 foreign lenders. Analysts say the 360,000 b/d producer, controlled 50-50 by TNK-BP and Gazprom Neft, may use the money to boost upstream investment or to acquire produc- ing assets to help it offset declining oil production at its mature fields (NC Mar.17'11).
