May 16, 2022 [Prensa Latina] – The Russian oil company Lukoil announced an agreement with the Anglo-Dutch company Royal Dutch Shell for the total acquisition of Shell Neft, which owns 411 gas stations and a lubricants plant in this country.

 

According to the statement, Russia’s largest private oil company and its largest oil producer negotiated with Shell to acquire a 100% stake in Shell Neft, which retails hydrocarbon derivatives and produces lubricants in Russia.
