Russia exported less natural gas - US and European sanctions affected
Russia's liquefied natural gas exports fell 2% in January-November, data show
Russia's liquefied natural gas exports fell 2% in January-November to 28.4 million tonnes. For November alone, Russian liquefied natural gas shipments rose 10% to 3.19 million tonnes from a year earlier, while falling 4.5% from October, when supplies hit a monthly record.
The start of supplies from the Arctic LNG 2 plant boosted exports on an annual basis in October and November.
However, liquefied natural gas exports from Russia have fallen since the beginning of this year after being hampered by US sanctions, particularly on the new Arctic LNG 2 plant, which have significantly limited the use of the tanker fleet to transport the fuel.
Exports from Arctic LNG 2 are all going to China. China received its first cargo of LNG from the sanctioned Russian project in late August, days before a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
LNG exports from Russia to Europe in the first 11 months of this year fell 16% year-on-year to 12.3 million tonnes. In November alone, exports on the same route reached about 1.3 million tonnes, broadly in line with the same month a year earlier.
