According to a source familiar with the situation, quoted by RIA Novosti, the company is conducting "nightmare" negotiations to sell a 27.5% stake in the field.
It is noted that Shell is attempting to compensate for part of the $ 5 billion that the company loses due to the closure of business in Russia.
Assets are ready to be acquired by Cnooc, CNPC and Sinopec, however, as the author of the FT notes, for this the British will have to make a significant discount.
Earlier, Shell announced plans to withdraw from all oil and gas projects in Russia.
In addition, the company announced the closure of all its filling stations in Russia.
