Ukrainian state gas extractor Ukrnafta has received offers from 25 foreign and domestic companies to form partnerships to help develop 21 oil and gas fields in Ukraine and will extend a deadline to March 1 so they can finish examining the sites.
Bidders include several international consortia, with firms from seven European and North American nations as well as domestic firms, Ukrnafta said in a press release. The interested companies mainly consist of professional investors, oil services firms and consultancies.
