(12.08.2002) Полный Текст Нефтегазовая отрасль стран Прикаспия на англ. языке Нефтегазовая отрасль стран Прикаспия на англ. языке *** /14:24 30.07.2002/ Two Russian oil companies to develop Kazakh field Alma-Ata, July 30, 2002. (CNA). The Russian Rosneft and Zarubejneft companies are chosen by the Russian government for developing jointly with Kazakhstan the Kurmangazy field. In fact, Kurmangazy field is compared with Kazakhstan's Kashagan field by its huge oil reserves. Recently, Russia and Kazakhstan have agreed to divide their sectors of the land-locked Caspian Sea and agreed on joint work on disputed oilfields. Kurmangazy in the Kazakh sector and two fields in the Russian sector explored by Lukoil are as well fixed in the agreement. The Russian giant Lukoil was somewhat disappointed by the decision of the Russian government for it hoped to enter Kurmangazy in exchange for ceding 50 percent in its projects to Kazakhstan under an agreement between the two states. The government said in a statement Rosneft would become the operator of the Russian stake in Kurmangazy, or 50 percent of the field, but might cede 25 percent to Zarubejneft in the future. Rosneft and Zarubejneft already represent Russia in all production sharing agreements on its territory, Reuters informs. Kazakhstan plans to keep 25 percent in Kurmangazy and offer 25 percent to a foreign partner to help explore it. Industry sources say the Kazakh government is in talks with almost all Western oil giants over Kurmangazy with TotalFinaElf showing the biggest interest. CNA/www.caspian.ru |
