Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of gas giant Gazprom, is considering buying Poland's Lotos oil processing company, Gazprom Neft head Alexander Dyukov said on Wednesday.
Gazprom Neft has not yet made an offer to participate in the purchase nor received any proposals from Russia's Rosneft for a joint buy, he said.
"We are interested in this asset. We are evaluating it to participate in the sale. But we have not received any official offers from Rosneft and have not made such offers ourselves," he said.
Media reports have claimed Gazprom Neft and Rosneft could buy Lotos jointly.
