Background

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Shell declared its intention to leave the Sakhalin-2 project. In the first quarter of 2022, the company booked a $1.6 billion impairment related to its withdrawal from the project.[11]

In June 2022, the original Bermuda-based operator Sakhalin Energy was transformed into a Russian company, Sakhalinskaya Energiya LLC, via a presidential decree. Gazprom received a 50.01% share in the new operator. Mitsui (12.5%) and Mitsubishi (10%) confirmed their participation in the new operator, while Shell opted out.[12]

In March 2024, Shell's former 27.5% stake was acquired by Gazprom for close to $1 billion. At the same time, Shell stated that it "reserves all its legal rights relating to its 27.5% interest in Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd (SEIC)."[11]
