Kogas previously signed a contract with SEIC in 2015 for the supply of 1.5 million tpy of LNG from the Skahalin II project.

The LNG project produced 10.8 million t of LNG in 2015, exceeding the design capacity by 1.2 million t. In June 2015, Gazprom and Shell signed a memorandum on implementing the construction project for the LNG terminal’s third production train.
