据路透社3月18日莫斯科报道，俄罗斯天然气巨头诺瓦泰克首席执行官Leonid Mikhelson周日表示，他已与沙特石油部长Khalid al-Falih讨论了该公司的北极LNG 2号项目，预计很快就会达成协议。

“我们正与沙特阿美就北极LNG 2号项目进行谈判。我认为我们将在未来几个月取得具体进展。”他补充称，他预计全球液化天然气（LNG）价格不会在项目启动后发生变化。

在巴库举行的欧佩克成员国和其他主要石油出口国会议间隙，Mikhelson还表示，所谓的“天然气欧佩克”——一个由全球主要天然气生产国组成的松散组织——将在全球能源市场上得到加强。

Novatek close to deal with Saudi Aramco on Arctic LNG 2 project - CEO

Leonid Mikhelson, chief executive of Russian gas giant Novatek, said on Sunday he had discussed the company's Arctic LNG 2 project with Saudi oil minister Khalid al-Falih and that a deal could be expected soon.

"We are in talks with Saudi Aramco (on the Arctic LNG 2 project). I think we will get something concrete in coming months," Mikhelson said, adding that he did not expect global liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices to change after the project's launch.

Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of OPEC members and other major oil exporters in Baku, Mikhelson also said that the so-called 'gas OPEC' - a loose organisation of global leading producers of natural gas - would strengthen on the global energy markets.
