LNG
Russia’s Novatek has suspended work on the Murmansk and Ob LNG projects due to the impact of western sanctions, according to Reuters citing Kommersant.
- Novatek is revising promising export projects and looking for alternative options for monetizing its gas reserves due to the pressure of sanctions, Kommersant said.
- In June, the EU introduced a ban on providing goods, technology or services for the completion of Russian LNG projects.
- Construction for the Arctic Murmansk LNG project was scheduled for 2027-2030. The annual loading volume is projected to be 3.4mtpa in 2028, rising to 6.8mtpa in 2029. From 2030, the project expects loadings to hit 13.6mtpa.
- The Ob LNG plant, adjacent to Yamal LNG, is expected to have a capacity of 6mtpa.
