American investment fund Carlyle is reportedly considering the acquisition of the sanctioned overseas assets of Russian oil company Lukoil.<\/p>\n

Three sources familiar with the matter told<\/a><\/span> the\u00a0Reuters<\/em>\u00a0news agency that the investment giant is evaluating this option.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, Carlyle is in the early stages of reviewing the file. The company plans to apply for a license in the US to complete the potential deal and conduct a comprehensive due diligence on the assets.<\/p>\n

Talks are still in the preliminary stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the sources stated that Carlyle has communicated its interest to Lukoil.<\/p>\n

However, the same source emphasized that the company has not yet made a final decision and that there is a possibility it may withdraw from the acquisition process.<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s sanctions are in effect<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Washington administration had previously imposed sanctions on Lukoil as part of its efforts to increase pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The US also blocked the company from selling some of its international assets to the Swiss trading firm Gunvor, which is linked to Gennady Timchenko, considered a close associate of President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

A $22 billion global portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lukoil, which accounts for approximately 2% of global oil production, has significant production capacity both in Russia and abroad.<\/p>\n

The company had announced some time ago that it was seeking a buyer for its international assets, which supply more than 0.5% of the world’s oil. The value of these assets is estimated to be around $22 billion as of 2024.<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/em>\u00a0notes that for decades, Lukoil has been the most effective Russian oil actor abroad, reflecting Moscow’s “soft economic power.”<\/p>\n

According to the agency’s data, Lukoil has three refineries in Europe. The company also holds stakes in fields in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Mexico, Ghana, Egypt, and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In addition, the company operates hundreds of fuel stations worldwide, including in the United States.<\/p>\n

Carlyle Group is one of the world’s largest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlyle Group, which operates in direct investments, asset management, and financial services, is considered one of the largest entities in the world.<\/p>\n

The total value of assets under the company’s management is reported to be at the level of $474 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
