据WENews网站6月24日莫斯科报道,俄罗斯第二大天然气生产公司诺瓦泰克(Novatek)的一名高管日前在莫斯科表示,由于诺瓦泰克的第一个液化天然气(LNG)项目即将完成,诺瓦泰克有望超越卡塔尔成为世界最大LNG出口商,从而驳回外界担忧美国对该行业的制裁影响。
诺瓦泰克首席财务官马克·盖特韦日前在采访中说,俄罗斯最大的独立天然气生产商诺瓦泰克预计在今年年底前开启北极圈最高处的亚马尔项目第一阶段,利用该项目出口LNG,并可能在6个月内进入这个项目的最后阶段。
但是,诺瓦泰克的第二大项目——同时也是俄罗斯第三大项目——被称为北极LNG 2的大型LNG项目的全面启动将在今后的10年内,助力由俄罗斯最富有商人列昂尼德·米赫尔松领导的诺瓦泰克成为全球最大的LNG生产商和出口商。

Novatek Aims to Topple Qatar from LNG Top Spot
WENews.com June 24, 2017 Moscow
Russian gas producer Novatek aims to topple Qatar as the world's biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNGLF) as it gets closer to completing its first LNG project, a top executive said, batting away concerns about U.S. sanctions on the sector.
The country's largest non-state gas producer is expected to start exporting LNG from the first phase of the Yamal project, situated far above the Arctic circle, towards the end of this year and may bring forward its final stage by six months, CFO Mark Gyetvay said.
But it is the inception of Novatek's second, and Russia's third, large-scale LNG project called Arctic LNG 2 that would transform the company, headed by Russia's richest businessman Leonid Mikhelson, into a top global producer and exporter within a decade.
