Putin signs order to seize Shell’s Russian gas project

Ggood morning.

After Putin threatened to deprive the facility, Shell could be forced to abandon its investment in Russia’s major gas projects.

The Kremlin said the rights to the Sakhalin 2 plant will be transferred to a new Russian company because of threats to national interests and economic safety.

Shareholders can say for a month whether to invest in the new company, but have been warned that they may not be able to get their money back.

This move could lead to the complication of the shell holding a 27.5pc stake in Sakhalin 2.

The company previously said it plans to sell its stake, worth an estimated $ 4.1 billion (£ 3.4 billion), and that China’s national energy company is associated with potential transactions.
