Gazprom and Eni to Share Libyan Oil Assets

Russia's Gazprom looks set to secure energy assets in Libya alongside Italian oil company Eni, according to UK newspaper the Financial Times.

Eni has agreed to share assets with Gazprom "in a north African country, probably Libya", industry sources told the newspaper.

The move would give state-owned Gazprom entry to North African oil and gas fields, securing its stake in European markets.

Eni has not commented on the story.
