Osaka Gas Says U.S. Sanctions on Gazprombank Won't Affect Russian LNG Purchases
(Reuters) — Osaka Gas' settlement process for procuring liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Sakhalin 2 project in Russia will not be impacted by the new U.S. sanctions on Russia's Gazprombank, the Japanese city gas provider's president said.
The United States imposed new sanctions on Russia's Gazprombank on Thursday, the Treasury Department said, as President Joe Biden steps up actions to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine before he leaves office in January.
Osaka Gas, which buys the super-chilled fuel from the Sakhalin 2 LNG project under a long-term contract, does not expect the U.S. sanctions to affect its transactions, President Masataka Fujiwara told reporters on Friday, noting the utility does not use Gazprombank for settlement.
