Petrotel Ploiești, în jocul unei tranzacții de 20 de miliarde de dolari. Cine vrea să cumpere activele internaționale ale Lukoil

A consortium of investors, backed by the U.S. government, is pursuing a $20 billion acquisition of Lukoil's international assets, including the Petrotel refinery in Romania. This follows the withdrawal of Carlyle Group from negotiations. The deal involves oil fields and refineries across multiple continents, with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation providing political guarantees. The transaction aims to prevent Russia from accessing funds while ensuring the continued operation of the assets. Todd Boehly leads the consortium, which includes Middle Eastern investors. The sale is a response to U.S. sanctions against Lukoil due to the Ukraine conflict, complicating its international operations.
