Gazprom wants ExxonMobil to supply gas from Sakhalin-1 project for Far East pipeline

摘要

Following the inauguration of Russia’s Far East pipeline, Gazprom said it wanted to receive gas from the Exxon-led Sakhalin-1 project for the pipeline, which is due to be operational in Q3-2011. But both companies have failed to reach an agreement on gas supplies from Sakahlin-1. “Discussions with Gazprom continue,” ExxonMobil Russia’s vice president, Konstantin von Eggert, was quoted as saying. Exxon has started negotiations to sell gas from Sakhalin-1 to Gazprom, which leaves fewer volumes available for Exxon Mobil to pursue initial plans to deliver LNG to China.
