Asset Liquidation of Russian Oil Giant Assets Ahead of American Restrictions Kick In
International refining facilities and other assets of Russian firm Lukoil are appealing to prospective purchasers as the deadline approaches to strike cheap deals before American restrictions come into force on 21 November.
Global Liquidation Efforts
The Kazakh national company KazMunayGas is evaluating an offer for Lukoil's assets in the country, according to insiders with knowledge.
Shell has expressed interest in Lukoil's subsea operations in West African nations, industry observers confirmed.
Nationalization Efforts

Corporate Challenge
