Background

According to Gazprom, the proposed Chernomorsky LNG facility is to be built near a Russian Black Sea port and fed with gas from the existing trunkline network; the facility is projected to produce between 500,000 and 1.5 million tonnes per year of LNG.[1]

Chernomorsky LNG may be built by as early as 2025, according to Gazprom, although some sources report that this is an overly optimistic assessment.[1] The terminal's main focus will be high-value LNG spot sales, such as ship bunkering and small scale LNG deliveries, to target locations with limited or no access to pipeline gas.[3] The target consumers are countries along the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.[2]
