Background

Pechora LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Komi, Russia.[1] A feasibility study was conducted by Technip in 2010,[1] and a pre-investment study of the project and exploration work was completed upon establishment of the joint venture between Rosneft and ALLTECH Group for the RN-Pechora LNG company.[4]

In February 2018 the Energy Committee of the Duma decided that Rosneft could not export LNG from its Pechora LNG plant as this would undermine Gazprom’s export monopoly.[5] In September 2018 Rosneft announced that it was abandoning the project, while it was unclear if AllTech would attempt to pursue it independently.[2]

Since Rosneft abandoned the project there has been no further progress, and the project appears to be cancelled.
