Background

Pechora LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Komi, Russia. A feasibility study was conducted by Technip in 2010, and a pre-investment study of the project and exploration work was completed upon establishment of the joint venture between Rosneft and ALLTECH Group for the RN-Pechora LNG company.

In February 2018 the Energy Committee of the Duma decided that Rosneft could not export LNG from its Pechora LNG plant as this would undermine Gazprom’s export monopoly. In September 2018 Rosneft announced that it was abandoning the project, while it was unclear if AllTech would attempt to pursue it independently.

As of July 2019 there has been no further progress, and the project appears to be cancelled.
