Statoil and Rosneft implement strategic cooperation agreement

摘要

Statoil and Rosneft signed agreements on joint bidding for exploration licenses in the Norwegian Barents Sea and on Joint Technical Evaluation covering two Russian onshore assets. The agreement on exploration cooperation identifies an Area of Mutual Interest in the Norwegian Barents Sea for the 22nd Licensing Round. Statoil and Rosneft also agree to evaluate joint bidding in subsequent licensing rounds in the Norwegian Barents Sea. The Joint Technical Evaluation Agreement covers shale oil deposits at the Khadumsky formation in the Stavropol territory and highly viscous oil located below the gas cap at the Severo-Komsomolsky field in the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous district.
