NOVATEK signed MOU with Total and Siemens on cooperation in Vietnam

The MOU defines the parties’ intent to pursue opportunities to collaborate on LNG sales and to develop the infrastructure for newly built gas fired generation plants in the Vietnamese market.

NOVATEK’s Chairman of the Management Board Leonid Mikhelson noted: “We are very interested in infrastructure projects that create effective marketing channels to deliver produced LNG to end-consumers. Together with our partners, we view the Vietnam as an attractive market considering its growing economy and increasing demand for LNG imports.”
