This is something I predicted almost two years ago. Gazprom would partner with Western energy majors and Rosneft would partner with Indian and Chinese companies. The reason being Gazprom needs to stay as far a way as possible from the breakup of Yukos (and all its legal baggage). Rosneft, which now owns former Yukos assets, knows that Indian and Chinese companies don't care where Rosneft's assets came from. <br><br><b><i>uvj@vsnl.com</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> The Hindu<br>http://www.thehindu.com/<br><br>Monday, Jan 29, 2007 <br><br><br>___________________________________<br>http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk<br></blockquote><br><p>
