"We have [had] some discussions with Gazprom with regard to the Sakhalin 2 project. If the price will be good, we can consider it," Lim said on Tuesday.
In 2005, Kogas and Sakhalin Energy — the operator of the Sakhalin 2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project — signed an agreement for the supply of 1.5 million tons of LNG annually to South Korea. Gazprom possesses 50 percent plus one share in Sakhalin Energy.
