Japanese media: Japanese companies enter into contracts for gas supplies with the new operator of the Sakhalin-2 project

28

The Japanese newspaper Nikkei reported today that Tokyo Gas and JERA have signed contracts for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with the new operator of the Sakhalin 2 oil and gas project.

The publication writes that the change of the project operator will not affect the terms of supply and purchase prices. Nikkei also notes that eight Japanese companies that received LNG from Sakhalin-2 continue their cooperation on the project and are not going to terminate contracts due to a change in operator.



According to the information provided by the Nikkei, LNG from Sakhalin-2 is purchased by Japanese companies in the following proportions - almost 50% is bought by Hiroshima Gas, Kyushu Electric Power and Toho Gas receive up to about 20%, and Tohoku Electric Power and Saibu Gas - about 10% .

According to the Japanese news agency Kyodo, large Japanese corporations Mitsui and Mitsubishi are going to keep their stakes in the Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project under a new operator, about which the Russian side will be notified in early September. The share of these two companies in the project is 12,5% ​​and 10% respectively.

Recall that in connection with the sanctions of the West, the British-Dutch concern Shell, which had more than 2% of the shares in the project, left the Sakhalin-27 project. And at the end of June, the Russian President signed a decree on the creation of a new project operator - the Russian company Sakhalin Energy, instead of the joint Sakhalin Energy. Foreign shareholders were asked to agree within a month to participate in the project with a new operator.

Japan receives about 2% of LNG entering the country from Sakhalin-9. The project started in 2009, when the first LNG plant was built in Russia thanks to it.

          And I would have kept 30% of the joint venture 1 until spring. Europe deserves to be shown a place in the price. There is nothing to play noble dartanyans in front of gopota, you will lose one fig.

            It seems to me that sarcasm is already oozing from the nickname of the person who wrote this post and his punctuation.
            It was enough for me that he accurately caught the trend.

      Tokyo Gas and JERA are not withdrawing from the gas project, but they are not state-owned, but private companies (the Japanese government is guided by US guidelines). And the actions of these companies proves that common sense is beginning to prevail in Japan.

    Or maybe you need to do better with Japan? She joined the sanctions, staged a demarche in the leadership of Sakhalin-2, and we continue to "feed" the economy of the "land of the setting sun" with energy carriers. Maybe the time has come to talk with such "partners" from the standpoint of "economic expediency and strength"? Maybe it's already time to take these "partners" to the "pain hold"? They want our oil and gas - please, but in exchange for machine-building equipment, technologies, IT components and other goods. Let's even say barter ..... And if they want to constantly look back at the United States - then let "s" and "please them with an abundance of oil and gas ... For a month now we have been under severe pressure from all kinds of meanness and sanctions from Europe + The United States, but with maniacal persistence we continue to "shuffle our feet" in the international arena, to play according to some virtual rules of international relations ... In Europe, only a lazy one "did not wipe his feet" about us and did not spit in our direction, which he says is very eloquently about the role of our ideological work and its "hard" application with the states of Europe. At the moment, we are reaping the fruits of our ideological work in the international arena and the post-Soviet space ... "Indifference" combined with liberal attitudes and a complete lack of serious attitude towards ideology as a cementing force of the Russian, Christian world and led Russia to an ideological defeat in the world.And, as a result, the complete "deafness" of the Western world to all sound "messages" and sovereign demands m of the Russian Federation on international platforms, including the UN, OSCE. The experience of recent years shows that they "love" (respect) the strong, resolute, able to stand up for themselves, able to work 24/7 - with the electorate, especially with young people, who do not spare time and money for enlightenment, educational work in the media and in the field. .. And about Japan - apparently the time has come to move from the position of "gingerbread" to the position of "economic whip" ... Now there are "times" when "common sense" reaches the average person's "fat swollen" brain, faster and more reliably - through stomach, gas tank, "payments" for electricity and gas - in a word - through the "quality of life" ... Maybe it's time for Russia to drastically lower the "quality of life" for the so-called "non-porters" ???? And there, you look, and common sense, understanding, in the West, will appear ... Yes! Hearing and vision will "cut through" to everything that we say and do .... That's something like that. "To work comrades!"
