Russia’s largest independent gas producer Novatek has acknowledged that foreign contractors are likely to deliver a larger share than originally expected of components and units for its second liquefied natural gas project in the country’s Arctic region - Arctic LNG 2.
Speaking this week at the National Oil & Gas Forum in Moscow, the head of Novatek’s localisation department Pyotr Rodyushkin said it has held “dozens of sessions with potential Russian contractors to identify their competence” in fabricating equipment and units the company will need for three trains at its future LNG plant on the Gydan peninsula.
