Crescent signs regional co-operation pact
Crescent Petroleum has signed a co-operation agreement with Russias Rosneft, in which the companies will seek deals jointly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. State-dominated Rosneft is Russias largest oil company, and has in recent years started to expand internationally, and Crescent Petroleum - together with affiliate Dana Gas - is the regions largest privately owned oil and gas company.
