“We have talks with Total about certain projects in Kazakhstan, Columbia and also in Ghana and Ivory Coast,” a LUKOIL spokesman said.
Total has expressed interest in the Khvalynskoye offshore field in the Caspian Sea, which LUKOIL is now developing under an agreement signed with the Kazakhstan government, the spokesman added.
LUKOIL spokesman also said the two companies may work together in Colombia, where they hold licenses to adjacent blocks. Total owns exploration rights to the Niscota block and LUKOIL to the Condor block, both located in the Llanos basin.
Both the companies already work together on Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz development, in which each hold a 10% stake.
