MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft has agreed to buy oil services firm Targin from Sistema conglomerate for up to 4.1 billion roubles ($67.4 million), Rosneft said on Monday, as it seeks to expand its own oil servicing business.

Rosneft said the number of drilling rigs will increase by 19 percent following the deal.
