According to Reuters maintenance work on Russia’s Sakhalin-2 LNG plant is expected to last until March 2016. A recent technical fault on the gas compressor was the cause of the problem.
Reuters reports that a spokeswoman for the company said that it was trying its best to not let the maintenance work significantly affect LNG exports.

Representatives from Gazprom and Shell recently met to discuss a number of issues related to the strategic cooperation between the two companies.
Reports suggest that Sakhalin II aims to export 18 LNG cargoes by 2018 by selling 6 cargoes per year from 2016.
In January 2015, Sakhalin Energy offloaded the 900th cargo of LNG.
Sakhalin Energy’s LNG plant has produced 50 million t of liquefied natural gas.
