Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) — OAO Gazprom’s Sakhalin Energy project will import a cargo of liquefied natural gas from Alaska to aid in starting up the facility, said chief executive Ian Craig.
Tokyo Gas Co. and Tokyo Electric Power Co., customers of the Sakhalin-2 project, will provide the cargo to help top up storage tanks at the LNG export terminal before operations begin next year, Craig said today in a speech at the Sakhalin Oil and Gas Conference in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
Sakhalin Energy will use the gas to test components of the 9.6 million tons-a-year export facility. The company in July imported a LNG cargo from Indonesia for the same purpose.
The shipment will arrive in October, said Ivan Chernyakhovsky, a spokesman for the company.
Sakhalin Energy is also in the final stages of creating a joint venture with Sovcomflot OAO, Russia’s largest shipping company, to operate the LNG terminal’s port facilities, said Craig.
OAO Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled gas company, paid $7.45 billion in April to original operator Royal Dutch Shell Plc and partners Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi Corp. to acquire 50 percent plus one share of the Sakhalin-2 project, following months of threats by Russian environmental inspectors last year to halt its development.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
