Russia's Gazprom is planning to list on Singapore's stock exchange in July, Interfax agency quoted a company source as saying Thursday.
Interfax reported that state-controlled Gazprom, the country's top natural gas producer, was talking to the exchange and preparing paperwork.
Gazprom, which is negotiating a deal to supply natural gas to China, declined to comment.
President Vladimir Putin hoped the negotiations will be concluded before he visits China next week, showing Moscow had alternative markets to turn to at a time of tension with the West over the crisis in Ukraine.
Russia and China are still trying to iron out price differences over the potential deal.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
