Sakhalin Energy Project Financing - Lessons Learned

摘要

Sakhalin Energy, one of the larger integrated oil & gas projects, executed under the first signed PSA in Russia, obtained international project financing at the end of the last decade. Rob van Velden, Finance Director of Sakhalin Energy, will discuss the challenges the Company went through to obtain project financing, and the impact of project financing on Sakhalin Energy's ongoing operations. Today the Company has established a strong reputation in the Asia Pacific LNG market and has good relations with its lenders group. The Company is confident about its future and looking for possibilities to expand the project where additional project financing may well play a key role yet again. Sakhalin Energy celebrates its 20th birthday this year. Looking back there is indeed cause for celebration. What during the construction phase seemed at times an impossible task has developed into today a grown up Company with a strong reputation. Sakhalin Energy is a reliable energy supplier in the Asia Pacific and a responsible operator in a difficult sub-arctic environment.
