MOSCOW: Russia's Sakhalin Energy, the international operator of a pioneering liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in eastern Russia, said it had to make changes to its LNG output on March 1 after the failure of one of two gas pumping aggregates.
It said it was also "optimising" production at the Lunskaya A offshore platform , which mainly produces gas for the LNG plant, and evaluating the impact on LNG loading schedules.
The failure has not affected oil and gas production at other platforms, the Piltun-Astokhskaya A and Piltun-Astokhskaya B.
It has not made further comments, saying it has been working to restore production.
According to a trade source, one of the two trains at Sakhalin-2 plant has been offline following the accident.
