Gazprom's Sakhalin-2 venture off Russia's Pacific coast with Royal Dutch Shell said its expenses have been recovered and production sharing has begun.
Sakhalin Energy, the project operator, recovered all $24.5 billion of its expenses and is now sharing production profit, the company said in a statement Friday. The federal and regional governments are expected to receive more than $100 billion over the course of the projects life, Sakhalin Energy said.
Gazprom owns 50 percent plus a share of Sakhalin Energy, while Shell holds 27.5 percent. Mitsui and Mitsubishi of Japan own 12.5 percent and 10 percent, respectively.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
