Russia's Gazprom says launch of Baltic LNG postponed until 2022-2023
3/10/2017
MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russian gas giant Gazprom has postponed the launch of its Baltic LNG plant in the Leningrad region until 2022-2023, it said in a prospectus for a Eurobond issue, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Friday.
The company may revise the commissioning date after the project documentation is complete, Gazprom said.
In June 2016, it signed a memorandum of understanding on the project with oil major Royal Dutch Shell, according to which Gazprom said it planned to build the plant by the end of 2021.
