Japan intends to keep stake in Sakhalin-1 oil project - industry minister

TOKYO : Japan intends to keep a stake in the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project in Russia, industry minister Koichi Hagiuda said on Monday, after Russia temporarily banned Western investors from selling shares in key energy projects."Sakhalin-1 is a valuable non-Middle East source for Japan, which depends on the Middle East for 90 per cent of its crude oil imports," said Haguida, the minister for economy, trade and industry.

Hagiuda reiterated that Japan intended to have the Japanese trading houses maintaining stakes in Sakhalin-2."The public and private sectors will work together to ensure a stable supply of LNG to Japan," Hagiuda said. They shared a basic policy on maintaining the stakes, and he hoped the trading houses would start the procedure for converting to the new entity if they could meet Russia's conditions.
