PAO Novatek plans to build a small-scale LNG plant in Russia’s Tula region.
A cooperation agreement signed by Leonid Mikhelson, chairman of the management board of Novatek, and Alexei Dyumin, governor of the Tula Region, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forums in mid-June, provides for construction of a 126,000 tonnes/year LNG plant on the territory of the special economic zone Uzlovaya.
