Press release: EBRD no longer considers current financing package for Sakhalin II (11 Jan 2007)
Пресс-релиз: ЕБРР больше не рассматривает текущую схему финансирования проекта "Сахалин-2" (11 января 2007 года)

In 2001, the shareholders of Sakhalin Energy - Shell, Mitsui and Mitsubishi - asked the EBRD to partially finance Sakhalin II, which will produce offshore gas and oil from Russia’s far eastern coast.

Though the EBRD will no longer consider participation in the financing of Sakhalin II, through its engagement in the development of the project, the EBRD has helped to introduce commitments to consultation, transparency and treatment of indigenous people. It has also worked with Sakhalin Energy on many enhancements during the construction phase.
