Yamal LNG made its first LNG in the mode of commissioning identified by the project, the third production line. The total design capacity of running three lines is 16.5 million tons of LNG per year, or 5.5 million tons for each line. The Chairman of the Board "NOVATEK" Leonid Mikhelson noted: "the Successful launch of the third line of liquefaction clearly confirms that "Yamal LNG" is a unique project in the global LNG industry. We have not only achieved compliance with the planned budget, but also launched the third phase c ahead of its original schedule by more than a year. This fact is unparalleled in the industry, known for often exceeding budgets and delays of projects. We have become one of the global players in the global gas market and gained a unique experience in the design and construction of the Arctic LNG plant. This experience will be used in the construction of subsequent LNG projects in this hydrocarbon-rich region. The fourth pilot turn the Yamal LNG project will be built using patented "NOVATEK" technology "Arctic cascade" and Russian equipment." (Automatic translation) PAO NOVATEK via globallookpress.com
