Russia's $25BN Megaproject To Become An Energy Superpower

This video is about the world's largest oil and gas production project, Sakhalin-2 (on Sakhalin Island, Russia). The total cost is about 25 billion dollars. The project includes the development of the Piltun-Astokhskoye oil field and the Lunskoye natural gas field on the shelf of Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as the construction of onshore infrastructure.
Sakhalin-2 project includes:
- Piltun-Astokhskoye-A platform (the Molikpaq, the PA-A)
- Lunskoye-A platform (the Lun-A)
- Piltun-Astokhskoye-B platform (the PA-B)
- Onshore processing facility
- TransSakhalin pipelines
- Oil export terminal
- LNG plant
- Plans for an additional platform (the PA-C)

Wonder how long this platform and shore facility will produce as designed since the partners have withdrawn from the project? Tough conditions to produce natural gas and spare parts / contractors to do overhauls will certainly be hard to obtain.

What about China and India, what makes you think you westeners are only one that matters in this world.

[@joebannon9443]

Russia & Japan have attempted to recruit in the Middle East with promises of film star salaries. I have had a few emails directly from the installation’s This is due to Shells policy of ‘hands off for locals’ Europeans & North Americans maintaining the essential plant.

[@drscopeify]

@@icuric4077 China and India are oil importers and have small oil and gas resources so very limited knowledge in advanced drilling technology. Most of Russian and before that Soviet drilling was a collaboration with the west for export to Europe. The Sakhalin project was in cooperation with Japan but they have left the project.

Do you think investors are interested in politics. US still buys Russian gas and fuel nuclear

[@marktomm]

@@drscopeify China can build almost anything these days man.There's even a major offshore gas field in the south china sea. just can't remember the name. It's even got a full documentary on KZbin.

BRICS only exists to export resource to China to then be made in to goods to export to the west so BRICS depends on the west to exist. Something most people fail to understand.

@@pavlinpetkov8984thats doesnt mean what you think it does when talking about a country as big and populated as russia, you need a better interpretation of statistics

[@joebannon9443]

One thing the presentation fails to indicate is that all the oil production & processing plants were engineered & imported. The Molipaq is a second hand production platform from Alaska the additional oil export module being engineered & fabricated in Korea. The power generation, gas compression & water injection provided by Siemens, control & safety system provided by AB USA. Second platform much the same. RR turbines. The onshore facility much the same, RR gas turbines for process & power generation. Therefore other than construction Russian content appears to have been minimal. I worked on GT maintenance on the Molipaq which was contracted out OIM senior trades all supported by Shell & contractor reps. Infrastructure on shore including housing was even imported, so not a lot of Russian content.

[@icuric4077]

It's a cooperation of all countries, what about very long underwater pipeline transport system. Here in video nobody says Russians did it all.

[@Withnail1969]

Russia already is an energy superpower.

[@willengel2458]

Sakhalin used to be a Japanese project. Japan sanctioned Russia. Russia took it back. LOL

[@biboyumandar1538]

Sakhalin Island was a disputed island claimed by the 2 countries even before world war 2. When World War 2 broke out, The Imperial Japanese Forces occupied Sakhalin Island. When Japan and Nazi Germany lost at World War 2, Russia (formerly Soviet Union) claimed Sakhalin Island back. Economically, Japan has to pay the damages of world war 2.

[@trogdortpennypacker6160]

Japan was always just a JV partner. Think it was Mitsubishi, Gazprom, and Shell. Then Shell sold their share to another Russian company. Mitsubishi I think still has their share. The Japanese need the energy, especially now that the Yen is basically toilet paper now.

[@edwardquaye5302]

If Russia have the technology to do this without the west then Russia is a superpower

Of course Russia became a superpower 1917 that’s when it became without any global violence

[@trogdortpennypacker6160]

I think if you look further the gas is buying bought by Japan under long term contract for the next few decades. Japanese are JV partner at around 25%.

[@badrakhariunchimeg1031]

Can it supports bridge s

[@doodsrem]

Legit question, wasn’t this gas plant closed due to low demand from Europe? Who is buying the gas?

[@lenoroshamann6679]

The other part of the globe, then resold it to Europe at a higher price. Kind of geniusly business!

[@doodsrem]

@@lenoroshamann6679 Ok thanks. It would be a waste if they spent that money and nobody bought the gas.

[@biboyumandar1538]

China, India and the BRICS are big business partners of Russia and big buyers of Russian Gas. Other countries in Africa are also buying Russian Gas.

[@biboyumandar1538]

As a matter of fact, there was no low demand of Gas from Europe. Truth is, EU imposed a sanction on Russia after Russia became a rising economic superpower. It was all Economic and POLITICAL JEALOUSY. EU, US and the West is so jealous that Russia is fast rising in the Oil and Gas industry.

[@NNG1]

You do know that russia is a big place where gas can be used domesticly? There has been an suggestion from the RU parlament/duma to use the gas coming from domestic to heat roads in the big cities in winter as there is alot of snow in russia.
