Russian Energy Minister Igor Yusufov says his nation plans to propose a major natural gas pipeline project linking Japan and a Siberian city. Yusufov indicated that the project would involve the transport of natural gas from Nakhodka, Russia, which faces the Sea of Japan, to Japan via gas pipelines on the ocean floor. Yusufov did not disclose any specific details, such as the size of the project, funding or its scheduled start, but he said Russia intends to send written plans to Japan soon. Currently, Exxon Mobil Corp. and others are in the process of planning gas pipeline operations to ship natural gas from offshore Sakhalin, Russia, to
Japan.
