August 4, 2006 -- Gazpromneft, the oil-producing unit of Russia's Gazprom gas monopoly, says it has acquired a 100 percent stake in Kyrgyzstan's Munai Myrza.
The oil news agency Interfax-ANI quotes a Gazpromneft statement as saying Munai Myrza operates 74 gas stations and several oil and liquefied-gas storage facilities in Kyrgyzstan.
The agency says that, following this acquisition, Gazpromneft controls one-third of Kyrgyzstan's oil-products market.
