MOSCOW, June 21 (Reuters) - Russian liquefied natural gas
producer (LNG) Sakhalin Energy said on Monday a planned shutdown
on its Piltun-Astokhskaya-B (PA-B) offshore oil and gas
production platform had been successfully completed.
The PA-B platform was the first this year to shut for
planned maintenance among the production assets of LNG plant
Sakhalin-2, the company said this month.
Sakhalin Energy produced and shipped record volumes of LNG
in 2020, topping 11.6 million tonnes. The company supplies LNG
to the Asia-Pacific, with major customers in Japan, South Korea,
Taiwan and China.
Equity holders in Sakhalin Energy include Gazprom,
Royal Dutch Shell and Japanese firms Mitsui
and Mitsubishi Corp.
