Infographic: Russia natural gas, LNG landscape
Look at the map. See those two big blobs called Urengoy and Yamburg? Not too many years ago we were all told that those fields will deplete somewhere around 2025. I have no reason to doubt that – just now nobody wants to know anything about it anymore. Let’s speculate. Let’s assume that what the Russians told us years ago is right. And I have no reason to doubt them. Looks like a big hit to a big producer to me. Shall we be worried here in Europe?
With the startup of the third train at the Novatek-operated Yamal LNG and the lifting of the project’s 100th cargo, Russia is driving forward its ambition to become a bigger player on the global natural gas market.
