The map below shows the approximate location of the proposed terminal, on Gydan Peninsula, in Tazovsky District, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, across the Gulf of Ob from Yamal LNG Terminal.
Background
Novatek announced Spring 2017 its intentions to build the Arctic 2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction terminal in Gydan Peninsula in Western Siberia, Russia. Arctic LNG-2 would export gas from Novatek's Salmanovskoye (Utrenneye) and Geofizicheskoye fields.[1]
The plan is for three 5.5-million-ton-per-year (mtpa) stages to be built: Stage 1 completed in 2022, Stage 2 in 2023, and Stage 3 in 2025.[2] The estimated cost is $10 billion. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018.[3][4] Of the total cost 73.43% will be paid for the Novatek and 26.57% by the Russian Federation.[5]
Reports in July 2017 indicated that Saipem was expected to be chosen as construction contractor on the project.[6]
In February 2019 Novatek announced that it had signed construction agreements with Siemens, a German conglomerate, as well as Saipem of Italy and Renaissance Heavy Industries of Turkey.[7] In June 2019 the federal government approved plans to build the terminal in seven stages.[5]
