ASTANA, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Kazakhstan’s Energy Minister Baktykozha Izmukhambetov said on Tuesday the government favoured Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) to explore the Nursultan oil block in the Caspian Sea.
He said ConocoPhillips (COP.N: Quote, Profile, Research) had also approached the ministry over the project.
“I think a decision will be made on this in the nearest future, probably before the end of the year,” he said. “But we are more likely to favour Shell after all.”
