Shell in £1billion deal with Russia oil firm

Oil giant seeks asset-swap for stake in Sibir, its AIM-listed partner in Siberia, despite rival BP’s troubles in Moscow

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL has held preliminary talks with Sibir, the Russia-focused oil firm, about a £1 billion asset-swap deal that could see it acquire a sizeable stake in its smaller rival.

Shell and Sibir are equal partners in the Salym developments in western Siberia, estimated to hold more than 1 billion barrels of oil.

Talks have been held about a deal under which Shell would swap its 50% stake in the Salym fields for an equity holding in Sibir itself, according to industry sources.

Sibir, which has a £2.4 billion market value, is the largest company on London’s Alternative Investment Market and is expected to be promoted to the blue-chip FTSE 100 index this year. read more
