Gazprom cuts its share in Nord Stream to 50 pct - Interfax

MOSCOW, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Gazprom has agreed to sell an additional 1 percent of its stake in the Nord Stream gas pipeline to the French company ENGIE (Other OTC: ENGIY - news) , cutting its stake in the project to 50 percent, Interfax news agency reported on Thursday.

Engie's interest in the project follows a statement from German chemicals group BASF that it had signed a memorandum of understanding to join the group of companies intending to expand the pipeline.
