Kazakhstan, Shell-Eni group continue talks over tax dispute

ASTANA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan has agreed to continue talks about a tax dispute with the Karachaganak consortium of oil majors led by Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) and Eni (LSE: 0N9S.L - news) despite beginning arbitration proceedings, the Kazakh Energy Ministry said on Thursday.

Quoting minister Kanat Bozumbayev, a ministry spokesman said the sides had agreed in December to extend talks by nine months and Kazakhstan might stop the arbitration if it was satisfied with the consortium's offer.
