Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR is in talks with Russia’s Rosneft, Gazprom and Novatek over the development of an oil field in Russia, SOCAR Vice President Elshad Nasirov told reporters Nov. 1 in Minsk, Reuters reported.

It is envisaged that the volumes of purchases will be defined on the basis of commercial interests and won’t exceed one billion cubic meters per year.
