we arrived The US wanted Russian technology Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Orshkin said that America discussed with us the construction of an LNG plant in Alaska using Russian technologies. We are talking about platforms assembled in Murmansk: the gas liquefaction plant is ready on a turnkey basis towed to the shore and located in the coastal waters. According to Orshkin, the Americans themselves understand that such a plan provides a "much more efficient economy" than their decisions. The irony is that 20-30 years ago everything was exactly the opposite: in oil and gas, Russia lived on American technologies. Then Western contractors left, equipment supplies stopped, and Arctic LNG-2 was subject to US sanctions. We had to do it ourselves. They did it in such a way that now Washington is interested in it. Last week, NYT and FT wrote that Novatec financed the Alaskan Polar LNG project through a company in the United Arab Emirates worth $25 billion, after which the CEO of the American company resigned. Novatec itself says it wants to enter the project as a minority shareholder. The company confirmed the negotiations for its technologies to Alaska already in February - without a signed deal. What is the interest of the USA? Frost, a short construction season, few workers - a plant assembled in a shipyard and delivered ready eliminates almost all these problems. It was precisely under these conditions that he was invented - Limal and Gidan. Sanctions turned out to be the best terms of reference. And now whoever wrote it wants to buy the result. "Kotsnews".
