DUBAI: The UAE's Crescent Petroleum has teamed up with Russia's state-run oil producer Rosneft to purse oil and gas deals in the Middle East and

The two would initially focus on opportunities in natural gas in the Gulf, said Crescent Petroleum Executive Director Badr Jafar. "We have already identified a number of robust opportunities, and we expect to be able to announce our first joint project in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region within the coming weeks," he told in a written statement.
