April 5 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 1000 GMT on Friday:

* Blackstone Group will visit Dell Inc's headquarters on Monday to begin an in-depth analysis of the company, sources said, a strong sign the buyout firm is proceeding with an offer that could upset founder Michael Dell's $24.4 billion buyout bid.

** French oil major Total has reached a definitive agreement to sell its TIGF gas transport and storage unit to a group led by Italian gas transport group Snam, French power company EDF, also part of the acquiring group, said on Friday.

No price was disclosed for the sale to a consortium which also includes Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC. In February, Total said Snam's offer valued the business at 2.4 billion euros.

** Australia's Sundance Resources is poised to walk away from a $1.4 billion takeover by China's Hanlong Group, analysts said, after the deal was blighted by a series of regulatory hurdles, financing problems and market volatility.

** Rio Tinto has hired investment bank Macquarie to sell its majority stake in the Northparkes copper mine in Australia, a source familiar with the matter said, adding to a growing list of planned divestments.

The mine has been valued by analysts at $300 million to $400 million.

** Revised takeover offers for Australia's Billabong International Ltd have come in considerably lower than indicative bids, with the highest valuing the struggling surfwear firm at only A$287 million ($300 million), the Australian Financial Review reported on Friday.

** Romania launched the sale of a majority stake in indebted, inefficient rail freight carrier CFR Marfa, as agreed under an IMF-led aid deal, setting a starting price of 797.1 million lei ($231.9 million).

** Restructuring specialist Hilco is set to throw British entertainment retailer HMV a lifeline in a 50 million pound ($75.90 million) deal that will save 2,500 jobs, Sky News reported.

** Private equity firm Nordic Capital said on Friday its Fund VIII had struck a deal to buy Danish logistics company Unifeeder from Montagu Private Equity for an undisclosed price.

** TMK, Russia's largest maker of steel pipes for the oil and gas sectors, said on Friday one of its subsidiaries had acquired pipe services and manufacturing assets in Houston in the United States.
