Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. (Sakhalin Energy) is a consortium for developing the Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project with corporate head office in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The chief executive officer is Roman Dashkov.

The company's principal activities are the production and export of crude oil (since 1999) and liquefied natural gas (from 2009).

History

The original consortium was formed in 1991. Shell and Mitsubishi joined the consortium in 1992, to make it MMMMS. In April 1994, the consortium formed Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. to develop and manage the Sakhalin-2 project. Sakhalin Energy signed a production sharing agreement with the Russian Federation, represented by the government of the Russian Federation and the Sakhalin Oblast Government.

In 2007, Shell sold part of its stake to Gazprom which made Gazprom the largest shareholder with 50% share of the company.[2][3]

In November 2009, Sakhalin Energy joined the United Nations Global Compact.[4]
