OAO Rosneft, Russia’s largest oil producer, will pay 1.61 billion rubles ($52 million) for the license to an area off the coast of Russia’s far eastern Sakhalin Island, Interfax said, citing a document from Russia’s subsoil agency.
The area contains the northern tip of the Chayvo field, which Rosneft is helping develop as part of the Sakhalin-1 project led by Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), the news service said.
