History
The main subsidiary of SeverEnergia is Arktikgaz (formerly known as Severneftegaz; not to be confused with Sevmorneftegaz and Severneftegazprom) together with Urengoil and Neftegaztekhnologiya. Severneftegaz was one of the first independent oil and gas companies in Russia. On 11 August 1998, the American-based Benton Oil and Gas Company acquired a 40% share in Severneftegaz and increased its stake afterwards up to 68%. Other shareholders of this time were Gazprom, Urengoyneftegazgeologiya and Logovaz.
In 2002, in a series of transactions, 100% of Arktikgaz shares were acquired by Yukos. On 4 April 2007, shares in Arktikgaz together with other Yukos-owned companies Urengoil and Neftegaztekhnologiya were acquired by EniNeftegaz, a joint venture of Italian companies Eni (60%) and Enel (40%) created to purchase the former Yukos assets. Later Enineftegaz was renamed SeverEnergia. On 23 September 2009, 51% of SeverEnergia was acquired by Gazprom for US$1.5 billion. In November 2010, Gazprom sold is stake in SeverEnergia to Yamal Development LLC (Russian: Yamal razvitiye), an equally owned joint venture of Gazprom Neft and Novatek.
