MOSCOW, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Russian energy giant Rosneft
expects to start supplying LNG from its planned plant
in Russia's far east in 2028, Interfax news agency reported on
Thursday citing the company, later than it had been planned.
Earlier, the start of the supplies to the tune of 6 million
tonnes per year had been seen in 2025-2027.
Rosneft and U.S. ExxonMobil, as well as their
Japanese and Indian partners, have long planned to start the
production of LNG in Russia's far east.
But production of the super-cooled, seaborne gas has so far
failed to materialize for many reasons, including international
sanctions against Moscow for its role in the Ukraine conflict
and lack of gas resources.
