Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0citing a source familiar with the matter, the company has determined its sales strategy in this direction.<\/p>\nThe majority of potential buyers are interested only in specific assets of the company. The company’s insistence on a holistic sale is creating friction in negotiations between the parties.<\/p>\n
The current situation increases the likelihood that the sale process of Lukoil’s overseas assets will take place in two stages.<\/p>\n
In the first stage, a single buyer, such as a financial firm, could purchase all of the company’s overseas assets. In the second stage, these assets could be resold gradually in pieces.<\/p>\n
Buyer pressure from the US administration<\/strong><\/p>\nAnother decisive factor in a possible agreement stands out as the attitude of the Washington administration.<\/p>\n
Sources indicate that the\u00a0US\u00a0administration wants an American company to purchase Lukoil’s overseas assets.<\/p>\n
This demand is considered a factor that narrows the pool of potential buyers.<\/p>\n
Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0lists\u00a0US-based Exxon Mobil and Chevron, as well as the United Arab Emirates’ Abu Dhabi National Oil (Adnoc), among potential buyers.<\/p>\nThe hedge fund Carlyle is also among the interested parties.<\/p>\n
According to information provided by sources, Exxon and Chevron are examining Lukoil’s stake in the West Qurna-2 field in Iraq.<\/p>\n
Adnoc, on the other hand, is focusing on different assets. The company is particularly interested in Lukoil’s natural gas production activities in Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Sanctions and Moscow’s reaction<\/strong><\/p>\nLukoil made the decision to sell following the\u00a0US\u00a0Department of the Treasury’s imposition of sanctions on it and another Russian oil giant, Rosneft, at the end of last month.<\/p>\n
The department explained this decision on the grounds of “Russia’s failure to show serious interest in the peace process.”<\/p>\n
The\u00a0US\u00a0Department of the Treasury subsequently issued a license permitting the sale of Lukoil’s international commercial activities.<\/p>\n
The Moscow administration considers the imposed sanctions illegal. In a statement evaluating the new restrictions, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that these steps would be “serious” for the country and would have “certain consequences.”<\/p>\n
However, Putin argued that the sanctions would not have a significant impact on the state’s “economic health.”<\/p>\n
Process ends on December 13<\/strong><\/p>\nTransactions regarding the sale of Lukoil’s overseas assets and the service of its overseas fuel stations are permitted until December 13.<\/p>\n
Company management announced that negotiations with several potential buyers are ongoing.<\/p>\n
Companies from different countries, such as the Kazakhstan company KazMunayGas, are also showing interest in Lukoil’s assets.<\/p>\n
Hungarian Foreign Minister P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3 expressed that the Russian company’s operations in Bulgaria could attract the interest of Hungarian energy companies.<\/p>\n
The oil trading company Gunvor also attempted an acquisition, but an agreement could not be reached following an objection from the\u00a0US\u00a0Department of the Treasury.<\/p>\n
