Rosneft offers stake in oil firm to CNPC
Print Edition
Russia’s top oil company Rosneft has offered a stake in an East Siberian oil producer to China National Petroleum Corp as a part of their broader cooperation, sources close to the matter said yesterday.
The sources said that Rosneft offered a stake of up to 30 percent in oil firm Taas-Yuryakh, in which it owns 35 percent and is bidding for the rest of the company.
Sources said the talks were in the early stages.
Rosneft declined to comment, while CNPC was not immediately available.
Earlier this year, Rosneft agreed to more than double its oil supplies to China from 300,000 barrels per day it now ships with the first phase of East Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline.
Russia, the world’s top oil producer, has until now been reluctant to cede a significant share of its oil riches to China — the world’s second-largest consumer — with Rosneft preferring to sign long-term supply deals backed by multi-billion-dollar loans.
But Rosneft, which in March acquired Anglo-Russian oil firm TNK-BP for US$55 billion, needs to lift its upstream base to honor its pledge to increase sales to China.
Taas-Yuryakh initially plans to produce up to 1 million tons a year (20,000 barrels per day) from its East Siberian Srednebotuobinskoye field and aims to increase output to 6.15 million tons by 2016. The field has reserves of nearly 1 billion barrels.
