Rosneft will establish itself as a leading provider of energy resources in one of the most dynamically developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region, Sechin said.
The transaction will be sealed once necessary regulatory and additional approvals are obtained.
The deal comes after Russia’s top oil and gas companies signed a number of cooperation agreements and memorandums with Petrovietnam in May, during a visit by Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc to Russia.
Petrovietnam signed a cooperation agreement with Rosneft, two memorandums of understanding with gas giant Gazprom, on new oil and gas upstream projects and gas use in power generation, and a production-sharing agreement with Vietsovpetro, its 51:49 joint venture with Russia’s Zarubezhneft.
