Sanctioned Russian Arctic LNG Plant Is Using New Production Line

Russia’s newest liquefied natural gas plant in the Arctic has begun using a second production line, even as the facility remains under stifling Western restrictions.

Arctic LNG 2, a flagship project for the Kremlin, shut large-scale production in October as sanctions discouraged overseas demand and ice buildup made it difficult for ships to arrive. While the plant managed to dispatch several shipments last summer, none found buyers.
