Sakhalin Energy has increased “Vityaz” oil shipping by 10% - up to 6.1 mln tons in 2010.

 

In 2010 Sakhalin Energy (The Sakhalin-2 operating company) extracted and shipped more than 6.1 million tons of “Vityaz” oil from the Prigorodniy port terminal, 10% more than in 2009, the company reports. Oil was shipped to 14 clients in 2010: Japan (33.9%), Korea (33,6%), China (24,8%), Phillipines (1,6%), USA (1,5%) and Thailand (1,6%). “Vityaz” oil is a new sort of oil, supplied by Sakhalin Energy. Analysts characterize this kind of oil as “a light, sweet oil, in quality close to the light oil from Oman ”. The LNG Industrial Plant produced more than 10 milion tons of LNG in 2010 while the projected capacity was 9.6 million tons. The increase was achieved due to the “structural optimization of the work process, the widening of some “narrow points” and an equipment tune-up”. In 2010 LNG was supplied to Japan (61.27% of the overall production)  Korea (30.34%), China (3,26%), Kuwait (0.65%) and Taiwan (4.49%).
