Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The agreement indicates a push to expand production capacity in the Sakhalin region, even after Shell surrendered control of Sakhalin II to Gazprom seven years prior. This expansion aims to utilize Sakhalin III resources and address the need for additional gas supply.

Gazprom acquired a stake in Sakhalin Energy, and Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi operate the Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project alongside Gazprom.
