Novatek's Yamal LNG facility - only the second liquefaction plant in Russia - started up December 5, taking Moscow a step forward in its ambition to become a bigger player on the global LNG market. When the first cargo shipped a few days later, it was also the first time a Russian company other than state gas producer Gazprom has exported gas.
