The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC; Governor: Akira Kondoh) on September 2 signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for strategic partnership with JSC NOVATEK, the largest independent natural gas producer in the Russian Federation, aimed at cooperation in oil and natural gas projects.
NOVATEK is engaged in the development of oil, natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Russia, which has the world's second largest natural gas reserves. The MOU is expected to lead to a more stable supply of resources to Japan by creating business opportunities for Japanese companies through close exchange of information and opinions between JBIC and NOVATEK.
