US oil major Chevron is looking into buying assets of Yukos. Several international companies, including Chevron, had inquired about participating in any auction or sale of the assets of Yukos, the onetime Russian oil major driven to bankruptcy.

“The receiver’s office has received letters expressing interest in acquiring certain Yukos assets from a number of large international companies, including from the U.S. company Chevron,” said Nikolai Lashkevich, a spokesman for Yukos bankruptcy supervisor Eduard Rebgun.

The assets, which include significant oil and gas reserves and oil refineries inside Russia, are scheduled to be sold in a series of auctions over the next few months.

Chevron representatives in Moscow refused to comment on the reports.
