Russia: Mitsui & Co. & Mitsubishi Corp. to keep stakes in Sakhalin 2 following Japanese govt. plan to maintain investment in energy project

"Japan aims to maintain stakes in Russia's Sakhalin 2 energy project" 16 July 2022

Besides Sakhalin 2, Japan also invests in the Sakhalin 1 project, with Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Co. -- a Japanese consortium involving the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, trading houses Itochu Corp. and Marubeni Corp., and others -- holding a 30 percent stake.

On June 30, Putin signed a decree to set up a new operating company for Sakhalin 2 affiliated with Russian energy company Gazprom, effectively putting it under Russian government control, with all staff and businesses transferred from the current operator Sakhalin Energy Investment Co.

Gazprom owns a roughly 50 percent stake in Sakhalin 2, while British oil giant Shell PLC has approximately 27.5 percent, followed by Mitsui and Mitsubishi.
