Russia joins Kazakh/Omani pipeline venture group
Russia has agreed to become a founding partner in a joint venture pipeline project formed by Kazakhstan and Oman. The agreement, signed in Bermuda July 24, is related to Chevron Corp.'s further development of supergiant Tengiz and Korolev fields along the Caspian Sea coast in Kazakhstan. Azerbaijan last month signed an agreement to become a founding member of the group, accepting terms agreed to by original joint venturers Kazakhstan and Oman. Azerbaijan's new government still must formally ratify its agreement. In addition, Chevron in June signed a memorandum of understanding to join the group at a future date. This paper reports that each of the founding members holds an equal interest in Caspian Pipeline Consortium Ltd., which will operate as a limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda.
