China’s CNPC: Russia’s Yamal LNG to get loans of around $10 billion
4/21/2016
MOSCOW, April 21 (Reuters) -- Russia's Yamal LNG project, which is expected to start producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) next year, will receive around $10 billion in loans from Chinese banks in May, an official at China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) said on Thursday.
"It has been almost decided, the talks with the banks are underway," CNPC's first vice president Wang Zhongcai told reporters in Moscow.
Russia's Novatek holds 50.1% in Yamal LNG; France's Total and CNPC control 20% each; and China's Silk Road Fund bought a 9.9% stake for 1.09 billion euros ($1.2 billion) last month.
