Gazprom expects its Sakhalin-2 venture with Royal Dutch Shell to produce enough fuel to support the expansion of Russia's only plant to liquefy gas for shipment by tanker.
The partners plan to extend the Piltun-Astokhskoye field, and producing deposits can boost output to feed Sakhalin-2's liquefied natural gas plant, Vsevolod Cherepanov, head of Gazprom's gas, condensate and oil production department, said Wednesday.
There will be enough gas for a third LNG train "if there is such a will," Cherepanov said. Sakhalin-2's two trains have capacity to produce a combined 9.6 million tons of the liquid fuel annually.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
