France’s EDF on Thursday confirmed to Gas Matters Today that it is in “preliminary talks” with Russia’s Novatek over participation in the Yamal LNG project. Novatek plans to remain the operator and retain at least a 51% stake in Yamal LNG, with the remainder split between international partners. Total already holds a visual_editor0.5% stake in the project. EDF is a new addition to the list of companies previously linked with Yamal LNG, with Qatar Petroleum and a consortium of Indian companies made up of ONGC, GAIL and Petronet also having shown interest.
