Background

Sakhalin II LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Sakhalin, Russia.

In 2015, Sakhalin LNG exported more than 500 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of gas, Seventy-two percent went to Japan, 24% to South Korea, 2% to Taiwan, and 2% to China.

Proposed Expansion

Sakhalin announced an expansion to a liquefaction and purification facility train to come online in the early 2020s. It has not yet reached a final investment decision.

International Gas Union reported in 2017 that a third liquefaction and purification train at Sakhali LNG has been delayed in part by sanctions imposed against the development of the Yuzhno-Kirinskoye natural gas field, which was to feed to Sakhali. In July 2019 Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Shell CEO Ben Van Buerden to secure additional investments by Shell in Russia, after which Shell announced a plan to build 260 additional gas stations, but did not announce further commitments to a Sakhalin II expansion.

With no progress in more than two years, the expansion appears to be shelved.
