Lukoil increases assets in Siberia

摘要

Russian private-sector firm Lukoil bought the licence for west Siberian greenfield Imilorskoye last month, which could help the company limit declining crude output. The field is in the infrastructure-rich Khanty-Mansiysk district and lies next to Lukoil’s largest producing field, Tevlinsko-Russkinskoye. Lukoil paid $1.67bn — equivalent to $1.20/bl of the field’s reserves — twice the starting price. State-controlled Rosneft and Gazpromneft also bid at the auction.
