Gazprom Keeps Scoring Goals - Revives German Asset Swap Deal

Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok has been a big success for Gazprom which scored three mayor deals in a day:
Signed a Shareholders’ Agreement on Nord Stream 2

• Consortium for the project is formed by Gazprom, E.ON, BASF/Wintershall, OMV, ENGIE and Royal Dutch Shell 

Provisionally agreed cooperation with Austria’s energy giant OMV

• OMV will gain a stake in Siberia oil fields in exchange for a stake in OMV's assets in Europe

Most surprisingly, has signed a previously abandoned deal with German BASF/Wintershall

• Germans will gain a stake in Siberia oild fields, in exchange for a Russian stake in North Sea operations, and full control of a gas trading hub in Germany with the largest underground gas storage facility in western europe
