Wintershall ... eyeing Libyan oil assets
Wintershall examining stake in Occidental's Libyan oil assets
LONDON, June 16, 2015
Germany's Wintershall is eyeing a stake in the Libyan oil assets of Occidental Petroleum, the chairman of Libya's National Oil Corp (NOC) said.
Mustafa Sanallah said NOC had given Wintershall, a subsidiary of BASF, access to confidential technical information at the request of Occidental.
He added that this did not signify that Occidental is looking to exit its business in Libya.
"This does not mean they are going to get out," Sanallah said. "It could be a joint venture." -- Reuters
