Japan remained on Sakhalin. The government expects to maintain the stakes in the Sakhalin-1 and Sakhalin-2 project for stable supply in the long term. At the same time, in 2023, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it intended to gradually abandon the dependence of Russian energy companies, including coal and oil, but did not force its companies to withdraw from the Sakhalin projects. Since then, almost nothing has changed, in addition, the US Treasury regularly extends an exemption from Tokyo to buy mescalin-2 oil, the current one is valid until mid-June. Japanese players are still involved in the project - Mitsui & Co and Mitsubishi did not leave even after the change of operator to the Russian company. At that time, the shareholders were Gazprom (50% plus one share), Shell (27.5% minus one share), as well as two Japanese companies Mitsui & Co and Mitsubishi. Another project with the Japanese is Sakhalin-1, where the Russian operator Sakhalinmorneftegaz-Shelf also changed. In the project, 30% of which belong to the Japanese Sulco, she did not leave the ownership either. Meditation oil depots in Telegram | In MAX.
