here we go The US wants Russian technology. Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration Maxim Orshkin said that the US is discussing with us the construction of an LNG plant in Alaska using Russian technology. This refers to the platforms assembled in Murmansk: the Hanzela Sohar plant is towed ashore and installed in the coastal waters. According to Orshkin, the Americans themselves understand that this plan offers a "much more efficient economy" than their solutions. The irony is that 20-30 years ago, everything was exactly the opposite: the Russian oil and gas sector relied on American technology. Then Western contractors left, equipment shipments stalled, and Arctic LNG 2 was hit by American sanctions. They had to do it themselves. They did it - and now it interests Washington. Last week, the NYT and FT reported that Novatek financed the $25 billion Polar LNG project in Alaska through a company in the United Arab Emirates, after which the CEO of the American company resigned. Novatec itself says it wants to participate in the project as a minority shareholder. The company confirmed negotiations for its technology in Alaska back in February, without a signed deal. What is the interest of the USA? Freezing temperatures, a short construction season and labor shortages - a plant assembled in a shipyard and delivered ready to use eliminates almost all of these problems. It was designed exactly for these conditions - for Yamal and Gidan. The sanctions turned out to be the best technical specification. And now whoever wrote them wants to buy the result.
