A pipe is laid between Rosneft and Gazprom.

The state-owned companies have reached a new stage in the struggle for the Sakhalin gas. As it became known, "Rosneft" complained to the FAS about "Gazprom", which denies it to access the infrastructure for the pumping of gas to the future LNG plant together with ExxonMobil. The state-owned company confirms that the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev supports its position. But "Gazprom" and its partner Shell needed the pipeline capacity to expand its LNG plant at "Sakhalin - 2". The sources believe that the RF President Vladimir Putin will eventually have to resolve the conflict, "Kommersant" informs.
