KIEV, March 1 – Shell in Ukraine has expressed hope that the Yuzovska gas field in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions will be put up for a tender to select an investor for the development of the field under a product sharing agreement (PSA) agreement by June 2011, the head of Shell's representation in Ukraine, Patrick van Daele, said in Kiev on Tuesday.

"We think that it would be great if the tenders were announced by summer," he said speaking at the Ukrainian Energy Forum organized by the Adam Smith Institute.
