    Total said on the 26th that it signed an agreement with Novatek on the same day to transfer its stake in Terneftegaz to Novatek, and the transaction is expected to be completed in September


    Novatek confirmed the news the same day


    Total said it decided to divest in mid-July and submitted an application to Russian authorities in early August, which was approved on the 25th


    The French "Le Monde" reported on the 23rd that data from a non-governmental organization showed that the condensate produced by Terneftegaz was sent to a refinery, which provided about 42,000 yuan to two Russian air bases from February to July this year.


    Total denied the report the next day, saying that all the condensate produced in the gas field was delivered to a processing plant in Kaliningrad, Russia, and that a series of products such as aviation fuel processed by that plant could only be sold outside Russia.


    Total also said on the 24th that the company will take legal measures if necessary to end "groundless disputes that damage the company's reputation.


    Total has investments in several natural gas projects in Russia and holds a 19% stake in Novatek


    Total Energy CEO Patrick Pujane said in March that the Russian gas project that Total is involved in developing is vital to Europe's energy supply
