Russian companies actively make purchases and make deals to gain a foothold in key markets in the oil and gas industry and mining, said oilprice.com. Obviously, this will become a serious challenge for competitors of the Russian Federation – Canada, Australia, USA and UK, according to the website oilprice.com
Over the last week mining companies of Russia has initiated an impressive number of new projects, said oilprice.com. It all started with the news of the purchase by a consortium in which the leading role is Rosneft, the Indian oil company Essar Oil – presumably for the sum as much as $ 7.5 billion.
The next deal in the strategically important Indian market – in the performance of a gas giant Gazprom – has become a new agreement on the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is built on the agreement on annual deliveries in the amount of 2.5 million tons.
All this occurred against the background of the visit of President Vladimir Putin to India. The Russian leader also signed agreements on cooperation in the oil sector and the joint study on the gas pipeline in this South Asian country. Covered were not only energy – signed a document on “multinational MegaSpace” in the field of gold.
Indian company SUN Gold announced that jointly with the Russian Foundation will develop Klyuchevskoe gold Deposit in Eastern Siberia – and that investment is expected to amount to $ 500 million. Generally, this transaction is unique in that it was the first “serikovskaya resource deal,” says oilprice.com: it is also attended by the players from China and investors from South Africa and Brazil.
All this suggests that Russia is moving forward aggressively in energy and mining sector, to ensure key global markets. This is an obvious challenge to other mining countries, such as Canada, Australia, USA and UK, the newspaper notes.
“Crowned” the flow of news a message stating that the tender for the offshore field in the Gulf of Mexico, announced by the authorities of Mexico, to the list of selected candidates includes not only “familiar names”, but the Russian company “LUKOIL”. “Be careful, whether the next shot the Russian “resource wars” made in the Mexican oil sector”, – concludes the author.
