Russia's Sakhalin LNG plans major maintenance
Russian LNG Sakhalin Energy plans to stop output for around a month starting in July to carry out maintenance, the company said, without giving a precise date. It said the annual loading schedule from Sakhalin-2 LNG plant for 2021 has taken account of the maintenance, which was agreed a few years ago.
Sakhalin Energy produced and shipped record volumes of LNG in 2020, topping 11.6 million tons and accounting for 3.2% of the global LNG demand.
Sakhalin Energy said previously the overhaul would improve safety and cut greenhouse gas emissions. The company supplies LNG to the Asia-Pacific, with major customers in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Equity holders in Sakhalin Energy include Gazprom, Royal Dutch Shell and Japanese firms Mitsui and Mitsubishi Corp.
