Russia to decide acquisition terms for Eurasia Drilling in 10 days-minister
MOSCOW, March 27 (Reuters) - Russian Natural Resources Minister Sergei Donskoi said on Friday that the final terms of approval for Schlumberger's request to buy a 45-percent stake in Eurasia Drilling should be ready within 10 days, TASS news agency reported on Friday.
Last month, Schlumberger said it planned to buy a 45.65 percent stake in Eurasia Drilling for about $1.7 billion, potentially paving the way for it to become the sole owner of Russia's most active oilfield services company. (Reporting by Lidia Kelly and Maria Kiselyova; Writing by Lidia Kelly)
