According to Kommersant, citing sources among the company's Russian counterparties, we are talking about specialists involved in the Sakhalin-2 projects of Gazprom and NOVATEK's Yamal LNG, as well as engineers from NOVATEK's Arctic LNG-2 under construction.
In parallel, Baker Hughes will stop shipping for the latest equipment project, including gas turbines, which will affect the timing of the completion of the first Arctic LNG 2 train.
It is noted that there are no direct sanctions for the maintenance and supply of gas turbines to Russia, and Gazprom and NOVATEK did not fall under direct US and EU restrictions.
However, the American company decided to terminate the agreements.
Earlier, the South China Morning Post reported that several Chinese companies may also stop supplies of equipment for the Arctic LNG-2 liquefied natural gas project amid EU sanctions against Russia.
