Russia is considering redirecting supplies of liquified natural
gas to Japan from other export destinations as relief following the
weekend's earthquake in the region, the operator of Russia's LNG
plant on the Pacific coast said Monday.
"We are now considering redirecting LNG to Japan," said a
spokesman from Sakhalin Energy, which runs the Sakhalin-2 LNG
plant. "This will depend on the Japanese customers' ability to
receive the extra cargoes."
He declined to say what volumes and from which destinations the
LNG volumes could come.
The spokesman added that the Sakhalin-2 plant hasn't been
affected by the tsunami that hit Japan at the weekend.
Sakhalin Energy is controlled by Russian state gas firm OAO
Gazprom (GAZP.RS) with Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) and Japan's Mitsui
& Co. (8031.TO) and Mitsubishi Corp. (8058.TO) as minority
partners.
