Russian gas producer Novatek PJSC seems to be pushing ahead with an expansion project at its Arctic LNG 2 plant despite Western energy sanctions.
A small fleet of tug vessels towing a second production train has approached the site of the plant on Saturday, according to ship-tracking data. The platform left the construction site near Murmansk on July 25, taking a three-week journey across the eastern Arctic to arrive to the productions area, where the first train is already operating, the ship-tracking data shows.
