> Japan currently plans to keep its stakes in the Sakhalin 1 and Sakhalin 2 oil and gas projects in Russia because they are critical to energy security, according to the economy ministry’s annual Energy White Paper. The report says 8.6% of Japan’s LNG imports came from Sakhalin 2; it currently buys no oil from Sakhalin 1.
