Khabarovsk region Governor Mikhail Degtyaryov was quoted by the news agency as saying, on radio station Komsomolskaya Pravda: “The project that the Americans, Exxon, announced in the port of De-Kastri, with a pipeline from Sakhalin, it’s been frozen until a further decision by them.
“There is gas, there’s a coast, there are labour resources and investment, but they’re freezing the project for political reasons.”
The latest move comes a month after the US-based energy firm announced its plans to exit its oil and gas operations, estimated to be worth more than $4bn, and halt new investment in Russia.
The decision to exit Russian operations follows Western sanctions on the country, in the wake of Moscow’s military action against Ukraine.

Starting in 2025, the project is expected to produce approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day.
