Novatek courts Japan

摘要

Russian gas independent Novatek has invited Japanese firms to join the socalled Yamal LNG 2 project on the Gydan peninsula in Russia’s Arctic. Novatek is yet to decide key technical and commercial terms for foreign partners, and this creates a “unique” opportunity for Japanese firms to enter the project, deputy chairman and former natural resources minister Denis Khramov said in Tokyo on 29 February.
