Japanese trading firm Mitsui & Co. is close to making a final decision to join a new Russian operator for the Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas project, Reuters reported citing the Nikkei newspaper.
Registered on Aug. 5, the new entity replaces project operator Sakhalin Energy as Moscow rewrites the rules for foreign firms operating in Russia, amid global sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
Mitsui, which does not see any conditions that disadvantage it, will make a final decision by the end of this month and notify Russia, the paper added.
