Russia has started a very large-scale project to exploit a vast gas deposit on one of its northern peninsulas, Yamal.

This is a joint project of the state and several private companies, which will include building a gas processing plant, a sea port and an airport. The sea port will be one of the largest in Russia. It is planned that from 2018, 15 mln tons of liquefied natural gas will be transported through this port every year. The plant is planned to be built in 4 years from now.
