Background
In 2022, due to the war in Ukraine, Shell announced its intention to exit all equity partnerships held with Gazprom entities, including its 27.5% stake in the Sakhalin-II project.[8] In April 2023, Russia's government approved the sale of Shell's stake to Russian energy firm Novatek for 94.8 billion roubles ($1.16 billion).[9] However, in March 2024, Gazprom acquired the 27.5% stake, formerly owned by Shell in Sakhalin Energy for around USD 1 billion, according to a government order. The government also officially nullified its order a year ago on selling the stake to Gazprom's rival, Novatek without explanation. The Russian government also said that the 27.5% stake in Sakhalin Energy is due to be sold to a company called Sakhalin Project for RUB 94.8 billion ($1.02 billion). Sakhalin Project is fully owned by Gazprom.[4]
