One year since the first shipment liquified natural gas was lifted from the Yamal LNG project in the Russian Arctic, the 16.5 million tons-per-year plant has reached full capacity with the commissioning of the plant’s third LNG train. Yamal LNG’s first train began production in late 2017, followed by trains 2 and 3 in July 2018 and November 2018, respectively. Russian LNG producer PAO Novetek, which holds 50.1% in the project, said the launches of the second and third trains come ahead of schedule by six months and more than a year. Yamal LNG is operated by a joint-venture involving Novatek (50.1%), France’s TOTAL (20%), China’s CNPC (20%), and the Silk Road Fund (9.9%).
