“ The parties reviewed the Eastern Gas Program progress in the region, discussing, in particular, the project for the LNG plant construction near Vladivostok (Vladivostok-LNG project). It was stressed that Gazprom had completed an Investment Rationale for this project. The document is currently under expert review in Gazprom and will be subsequently addressed by the Company’s Management Committee, ” Gazprom said.
Under the Vladivostok LNG project a liquefied natural gas plant will be constructed on the Lomonosov Peninsula (Perevoznaya Bay).
