Australian Trade Mission to the Russian Far East Sakhalin Island

(PRWEB) June 26, 2004 -- Sakhalin Island (Russia) Oil & Gas development opportunities

Overview:
The first two oil and gas development projects in the Russian Far East region of Sakhalin Island offer extensive and long-term business opportunities for Australian suppliers. Investment by oil majors Shell, ExxonMobil and BP are leading the development in these projects will total approximately US$20 billion. The resource is such that another 8 - 10 oil projects are being planned. Total expected investment over the life of the resource is expected to be US$100 billion.

The scale of these projects is such that requirements for imported materials and expertise are extensive. Business opportunities exist in many supply sectors other than Oil & Gas. The expected influx of upwards of 12,000 additional employees is creating demands in areas such as accommodation, communications, waste management, environmental planning, catering, recreation, outbound tourism, health care, education - just to name a few.

While few businesses have ever heard of Sakhalin Island, Australia is well placed in terms of capability, experience and geographic proximity.
