Russia may this year begin opening up its liquefied natural gas export market, currently run by public giant Gazprom, to other Russian companies, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said Tuesday.
Mr. Dvorkovich said deals "could be concluded this year" with Asian
markets the first to be opened up to competition.
In February, President Vladmir Putin called on his government to open the LNG
export market to competition, thus ending Gazprom's monopoly.
"The idea is to issue individual rights to export liquefied natural gas
for specific projects and markets," said Mr. Dvorkovich, with those areas
still to be decided.
Interested Russian companies include the country's second gas producer Novatek
and oil giant Rosneft, he said.
