The Japanese authorities have shown interest in the further development of oil and gas fields on Sakhalin

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, speaking today in Parliament, said that the country has shown interest in the further development of oil and gas fields in Sakhalin. The head of the Japanese Cabinet linked the country's readiness to maintain participation in projects not only with the very likely demand for LNG in the world market in the future, but also with the importance of ensuring its own energy security.

In 2022, we managed to significantly reduce our dependence on energy resources from the Russian Federation. This applies to coal and oil, the decline in imports of which amounted to 60 and 90%, respectively. As for the demand for liquefied natural gas, its share in the world gas market is expected to increase significantly in the future, and therefore, the development of energy projects in Sakhalin is of the greatest interest to Japan in terms of maintaining our energy security

- said the Japanese prime minister.



It should be noted that Russia has decided to transfer two projects, Sakhalin-1 and Sakhalin-2, to Russian jurisdiction. In this regard, foreign partners were offered to notify Moscow within 30 days of their consent to take ownership of shares in new companies. As a result, Tokyo agreed to further participation in both projects, despite the need to register a business in Russia. Moscow did not have any objections to this.

The Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project is a joint project of energy companies from Great Britain (Royal Dutch Shell), Japan (Mitsui) and Russia (Gazprom), which began operations in 2009. It provides Japan with LNG by 9%, and the Japanese side uses all this fuel to generate electricity.

Incidentally, Brussels and Washington met Tokyo here by temporarily lifting restrictions on the price ceiling that has been in effect for Russian hydrocarbons since December last year. That is, the purchase of LNG by Japan from Russia through companies registered in Russian jurisdiction will be carried out at a market price.

      Already ate a fish. The Government of Japan considers unacceptable the position of Russia on the impossibility of coordinating consultations concerning fisheries in the area of ​​the Kuril Islands. This was announced on Monday at a press conference in Tokyo by the Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet, Hirokazu Matsuno.

    It is extremely stupid to sell something to the enemy at all.
    Selling irreplaceable things (like fertilizers or oil/gas, metals) is generally a sin and should be severely punished.
    Or do something from the resources here, getting jobs and an increase in value, or not at all.

        Well, yes, either directly beat fiercely on the hands (and completely ban foreign travel), or state capitalism in any form, or interpretations on the topic of the USSR2.0, otherwise it is doubtful.
        Perhaps the softest thing is to nationalize all raw materials and land (otherwise they love them and still transfer them from agricultural purposes to development), prohibit privatization.

        But something needs to be done, the raw materials export economy is both stupidity and archaic (already were on that rake).

        * thoughtfully looks at the Soviet-built gas and oil pipelines, through which the USSR pumped gas and oil to the West, fighting with the proxies of this very West in Afghanistan.
        Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod sent gas to NATO countries exactly in the same year when the actual owner of NATO joked in front of a microphone:

            Lenin, Lenin. Republics as sovereign states that are part of the USSR - this is Lenin's idea. And with his authority, he bent the People's Commissariat for National Affairs in favor of this concept of building the Union.
            As a result, the gravediggers of the USSR did not even need to build the statehood of their republics from scratch - all the necessary bodies had already been created and had been functioning since Soviet times. All that remained was to divide the army.

      By analogy with criminal law, the responsibility for a bribe lies on both sides. I suggest that you adhere to this principle when buying and using in everyday life foreign goods from countries hostile to us.

      Why do we ourselves pull the bourgeoisie to us (we let the goats into our garden):
      Head of the Ministry of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov in the summer of 2022 at a government hour in the State Duma of the Russian Federation: “We have many fields in the Arctic. For example, in terms of gas reserves, which are concentrated in the Arctic zone, we are world leaders. We have only one problem in production: technology. import equipment in the oil and gas sector reaches 70%. We have already applied to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to take action."

      And earlier, until 2022, how could one move in order to ensure control over resources and develop mining technology?!

      "Vedomsti. Ecology" June 2022: At a meeting of the Security Council. “The officials directly told the deputy head of the Security Council that we don’t have technologies for developing deposits in the Arctic zone. If you use foreign technologies, you need to be aware of the need to accept the conditions of foreign developers, but if you accept them, it will be like now with the Japanese in projects on Sakhalin They take what they want from the Russian subsoil, and they themselves impose sanctions against Russia, and even the project depends technologically on them".

      In addition, after the defeat of the (disputed) Russian Empire, the division of Sakhalin and the occupation of the Kuril Islands by the Japanese, until 1904 the government of the Republic of Ingushetia gave the right to Japanese companies to fish and process fish in Sakhalin, the Kuriles, Kamchatka, if I am not mistaken, then coal deposits, around the same time, the presence of oil was established.

      After 1905, until 1945, the Japanese were granted the right to catch fish in the waters of our economic zone and territorial waters.

      what The words of the hero - Vereshchagin are really relevant, if we also paraphrase "....., I feel sorry for the state!"

        Not only fish. From 1926 to 1943, the Japanese, under a concession agreement, produced oil in the Soviet Northern Sakhalin.

    While the Japs are participating in the sanctions, supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, all contacts must be stopped. For the freezing of our assets, in response, we take control of all Japanese assets from us. And don't understand that. The Japs even refused to sell us medical equipment.

    the country has shown interest in further development of oil and gas fields on Sakhalin
    The admission of foreign companies to the development of oil and gas fields on our territory should be at the level of a bonus (at market prices) for proper behavior in foreign policy towards Russia. In this case, the situation is different. Kishida went to Kiev, supported Zelensky, remembered the Kuril Islands (we are brothers in misfortune), promised help, no matter what, and when he returned to Japan, he suddenly became alarmed about energy security and realized that it was difficult to solve this issue without Russia. Is it worth going to a meeting with such a leader of the country?

    Cooperation with Japan on Sakhalin is possible only if the Japanese Foreign Ministry officially recognizes the state border following the results of World War II and the Kuril Islands as Russia, moreover, by the law of Japan and with the ratification by the Japanese parliament of a peace treaty on this with a map attached.
    Without such recognition - no joint projects!
