The wholly-owned Government of Dubai ENOC Group has also confirmed that it does not have a representative named Mr Kumar I., who is reported in the Russian daily Vedomosti as disclosing an alleged deal between ENOC and LUKOIL.

"There is absolutely no truth in the report," said Hussain Sultan, Group Chief Executive and Board Member of ENOC. "Emirates National Oil Company remains the majority shareholder in Dragon Oil Plc and has not divested any part of its equity and is not in talks with LUKOIL to sell its shares in Dragon Oil Plc."
