Sakhalin Energy halves LNG output until end Nov
MOSCOW/NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Russia's Sakhalin Energy liquefied natural gas (LNG) group, one of the world's largest, has halved its LNG output until end-November due to planned maintenance, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.
"The maintenance started on Oct 23 and will last around one month. We have only one LNG train working right now," said Ivan Chernyakhovsky.
He said the group, controlled by Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile, Research) and comprising Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) and Japan's Mitsui (8031.T: Quote, Profile, Research) and Mitsubishi (8058.T: Quote, Profile, Research), has already exceeded its 2009 LNG output target.
"We have already loaded 60 cargoes instead of planned 55," he added. Sakhalin Energy, also known as Sakhalin-2, supplies LNG to Japan, South Korea and the United States.
