OAO Gazprom (GAZP.RS) is considering including foreign partners in the development of the Shtokman project, the company's CEO told reporters on Friday, following a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

"We are considering the possibility of new partners entering into the project. In the field of LNG [liquefied natural gas] we are already working with Shell on other projects," he also noted.

Gazprom owns 51% of Shtokman, Total SA (TOT) of France owns 25% and Statoil owns 24%. The project has suffered a number of investment-related delays.
