Russia’s Gazprom negotiated with Japan’s Mitsui & Co. on cooperation in liquefied natural gas projects. Gazprom and Mitsui already work together in the Sakhalin II project, which includes Russia’s first LNG plant, and on small- and mid-scale LNG. Current talks concentrated on Sakhalin II collaboration, following up from the agreement of strategic cooperation signed in December 2016 under which the two companies agreed to work on Sakhalin II project expansion and LNG bunkering.



Gazprom and Mitsui also discussed further collaboration on the Baltic LNG project that includes the construction of a 10-mtpa natural gas liquefaction plant near the seaport of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad Region. The project aims at countries in the Atlantic region, the Middle East, and South Asia, as well as small-scale LNG markets in the areas of the Baltic and North Seas.

The 5th International LNG Congress will cover LNG projects in Baltic region, small-scale, mid-scale and large-scale LNG technologies, and new implementation of LNG industry. The representatives of the leading LNG companies, governmental bodies, equipment manufacturers and EPC contractors will gather at the Congress on 29-30 April at St. Julian’s, Malta to discuss the most relevant topics and practical cases.
