"Gazprom, Russia's state-controlled gas monopoly, could team up with the China
National Petroleum Corporation to develop the Yukos oil company's main
production asset, sold to a mystery bidder on Sunday.

"Gazprom said yesterday: "There is a real energy boom in Asia and particularly
in China. In developing Gazprom . . . the eastern direction has been
identified as a priority."

Just something to be aware of?!
