The private equity Carlyle Group, based in the United States, has agreed to purchase Lukoil’s international assets, including those in Romania, Biziday.ro reported. The company is already involved in the exploitation of Romanian gas in the Black Sea through Black Sea Oil & Gas.
The acquisition was announced on Thursday, January 29, by the Russian company, which stated that it will transfer all its international assets, except those in Kazakhstan, to the American investment group. These include operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and Mexico, and range from a controlling stake in Iraq's sprawling West Qurna 2 oilfield to refineries in Bulgaria and Romania, Reuters said.
