What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Russia claims €1.5 billion from Shell concerning gas payments for the Sakhalin LNG project. Shell had previously stated that the old Sakhalin Energy company failed to perform, leading Shell to characterize the LNG purchase contract as "stood terminated". Shell stopped receiving cargoes after Russia transferred Sakhalin II to a new domestic operator in 2022.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The dispute relates to long-term deliveries that were originally planned through 2028. Shell's characterization of the contract termination is attributed to Shell, not a judicial finding. The lack of a publicly identified damages award means the financial outcome of the lost deliveries is not publicly established.

Shell and Mitsubishi Motors are partners in the Sakhalin Energy project, which is located in Russia.
