French oil company Total SA (TOT) Thursday said it agreed to sell a 20% stake in the Kharyaga oil field to Russian state-owned energy company Zarubezhneft as part of a vast program of asset sales plan to boost cashflow in response to the oil price collapse.
Once the transaction is effective, Zarubezhneft will operate the field in Total's stead, the French company said in a statement. Zarubezhneft would raise its stake to 40%.
Total will keep a 20% stake in the oil field together with Norwegian oil company Statoil (STL.OS) and Nenets Oil Company, which each hold a respective 30% and 10% stake.
The Kharyaga fields are located in Siberia, and Total and its partners currently produce 30,000 barrels of crude a day.

Blue Energy is proposing a gas pipeline to link the Bowen Basin gas province to the south east Queensland gas market.
Discussions on the new pipeline are being conducted in parallel with Blue's continued liaison with potential gas buyers, which now include southern buyers. Blue is seeking interest from pipeline construction companies to fund the construction of the proposed new link, which is part of the effort to commercialize Blue's gas reserves and resources in the Moranbah area.
The Moranbah gas province is a known Eastern Australian gas producing area, with commercial gas production having commenced in the mid 2000's and which to date has been directed into the Townsville industrial market as well as providing feedstock for the local Moranbah ammonium nitrate business. Blue's reserves are only some 400m from this neighbouring production.
Gas exploration by Blue, Arrow Energy and others in the Moranbah region has delineated a very large gas resource which exceeds the current local demand and, with no direct pipeline connection to either Gladstone or Wallumbilla, this resource currently remains untapped. Changes in the global corporate landscape for some of the Gladstone LNG Operators mean that the priority of Arrow's Bowen Basin gas volumes may have been re-assessed, and as such Arrow's timing to bring its gas to Gladstone also re-assessed.
Blue sees this as an opportunity to engage with southern gas users, who have been vocal about their inability to secure any long term gas supply in the face of unprecedented gas export demand from Curtis Island.

A further seven to 10 offshore rigs are at risk of having their contracts cancelled by clients on top of a total of 18 units that have been terminated so far this year amid a market slump, according to Rystad Energy. Rig contractors including Seadrill, COSL Drilling Europe and Songa Offshore have suffered a rash of charter cancellations and suspensions by the likes of Statoil and Petrobras as cutbacks by operators due to low oil prices have hit drilling demand, leading to a contract drought, lay-ups and plunging dayrates.
The total number of offshore rigs operating worldwide was at 225 last month, a reduction of 15 units on 240 that were active in September and down from 304 a year earlier, according to Baker.
