Novatek is advancing talks to form strategic alliances with Japanese buyers to develop new Asian demand centres for production from the company's LNG facilities in the Russian Arctic.
CEO Leonid Mikhelson told reporters at a Gastech 2017 media briefing on Tuesday that imminent commercial operations at Yamal LNG this year, and progress towards first gas in 2022-23 from the proposed Arctic LNG 2 plant, had opened the door to new Asian alliances.
