Vetro Energy is a Singapore and Houston, TX based operating and management company with Rezart Taçi as its majority shareholder.[1] Vetro Energy targets upstream oil & gas investments worldwide.[2] In October, 2012, Vetro Energy bid to privatize the Albania state-owned oil company Albpetrol.
Albpetrol acquisition[edit]
On October 3, 2012, the Albania government announced, Vetro Energy won the bid for the privatization of Albpetrol, which would have given it the right to use the Albanian state-owned oil firm for the next 25 years. Vetro's bid of 850 million Euros ($1.1 billion) for Albpetrol was rated 97.7 points by Albania's U.S. consultancy, Patton Boggs. Other bids included offers from China's Win Business Bright Oil, and Canada's Bankers Petroleum.[3] After winning the bid to buy Albpetrol, Rezart Taçi announced on November 22, 2012, Vetro Energy had completed the financing of 850 million Euros to finance the transaction.[4][5]
The deal was subsequently cancelled by the Albanian government after Vetro Energy failed to pay the initial payment.[6]
