"It's not good. But it is very understandable" I can understand why they are likely making this move. I don't think that too much of the Sakhalin work went to Russian companies. I grew up in Atlantic Canada and even today, there is resentment that more work, money and benefits of offshore is not going to the provinces and local companies and people. Entire drilling platforms like Hibernia were built locally in Newfoundland. With Sakhalin, it seems that almost all the work is going to shipyards in South Korea ect. Major projects the Russians had hoped for such as the Primorsk Oil and Gas Complex winne.com have not yet materialized. There is much more pressure for jobs and local economic benefits and more protests and unrest recently all across Russia.
