It is the world\u2019s seventh biggest LNG exporter, Reuters reported.<br \/> \t\u201cBuy our gas and you\u2019ll save oil,\u201d Putin told Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih, who also attended the launch ceremony in Arctic tundra, according to a report by Interfax news agency.<br \/> \t\u201cIf we continue to work the way we do, we will turn from rivals into partners. All benefit from joint work,\u201d he said.<br \/> \tSaudi Arabia, the biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and Russia worked together on a deal between OPEC and other producers on cutting oil output until the end of 2018 to curb a global crude supply glut.<br \/> \tPutin and Saudi Arabia\u2019s King Salman, who visited Moscow in October, had agreed on joint investment deals worth several billion dollars, a boost to the Russian economy that has been battered by low oil prices and western sanctions.<br \/> \tLeonid Mikhelson, ranked Russia\u2019s richest businessman and the head of Novatek that has a 50.1% stake in Yamal LNG, said on Friday he discussed gas projects with Saudi officials but did not give details.<br \/> \tYamal LNG, which is 20% owned by France\u2019s Total, aims to help Russia double its share of the global LNG market from about 4% now by 2020. Qatar is the biggest LNG exporter, with a 30% market share.<br \/> \tThe first phase of the $27 billion project was completed in December. Other phases are due to come on stream in 2018 and 2019.<br \/> \tThe project will eventually have four processing units, known as trains, with a total capacity of 17.5 million tons a year. Three trains will have a capacity of 5.5 million tons each and one will have a capacity of 1 million tons.<br \/> \t\u201cI am confident the second and the third parts of the project will be commissioned ahead of schedule,\u201d Putin said at the ceremony to load the first shipment on to an ice class tanker.<br \/> \tUntil Yamal LNG was built, Russia had one LNG plant, known as Sakhalin-2, controlled by Gazprom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday Russia was ready to sell gas to Saudi Arabia after he flagged off the first loading of liquefied natural gas at the Novatek-led Yamal LNG project in the Arctic.
