ALMATY, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan wants "strategic control" over the assets of Canadian oil company PetroKazakhstan , the country's energy minister said on Tuesday, adding the state oil firm is in talks to obtain a stake in the company.
Such a move could complicate a $4.18 billion offer from China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) for PetroKazakhstan Inc., which has all of its assets in Kazakhstan. The bid has unsettled some Kazakh lawmakers who want a refinery owned by PetroKazakhstan brought back under state control.
"Whatever happens to the shares, the state company will have a stake, which would allow (us) to properly work in this direction," Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Vladimir Shkolnik told reporters before an oil and gas conference.
na und Lukoil will unbedingt die andere Hälfte von Turgai Petoleum,die Petrokazakhstan hat Lukoil is in talks with CNPC to buy the Chinese company's half of their oil venture in Kazakhstan, OAO Turgai Petroleum, Lukoil Deputy Chief Executive Leonid Fedun said yesterday. Lukoil may pay $700 million, Interfax reported, citing Fedun. PetroKazakhstan was Lukoil's partner in Turgai.
Hintergrund des Interesses ist wohl ,dass Putin beabsichtigt in Russland den Ölpreis einzufrieren und Lukoil auch deswegen in andere Gebiete expandiert,es hat ja gerade 65% von Nelson Resources übernommen und dies zum Preis etwa wie Petrokazakhstan nach Fördermengen beurteilt
