Development of Liquefied Natural Gas Extraction and Production in the Russian Arctic
The authors consider the issues of extraction and production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Russian Arctic. The LNG production is a form of gas export diversification and, according to the authors, a definite alternative to pipeline gas export. These two forms of gas export are compared in the article. The authors analyze the conditions and factors for the development of LNG extraction and production. The article provides an assessment of the role and activities of key players in the LNG market, large projects for the production and export of LNG. The reasoned conclusions about the gas export strategy are made.
