Exxon Neftegas

Exxon Neftegas Limited (ENL; Russian: Эксон Нефтегаз Лимитед) is a defunct subsidiary of the American oil company ExxonMobil which operated mostly in Russia, notably Sakhalin and other parts of the Far East.

[1] ENL was the primary American operator (as well as 30% owner) of Sakhalin-I Consortium, which oversaw exploration and production of oil and gas on both Sakhalin island and in the Chayvo, Odoptu and Arkutun-Dagi fields in the Sea of Okhotsk.

[6][7][8] Across the 2000s, ENL awarded multiple contracts for logistics relating to the project, including Amur Shipbuilding Plant, Sakhalinskiye Aviatrassy, Fesco Transport, Vostok Aviation, Sovcomflot, and Lukoil.

Exxon's pullout announcement was published on March 1, 2022, and paired with statement in support of Ukraine, though Russia attempted to halt the pullout by passing legislation which barred energy companies based in "unfriendly countries" from pulling out of Russian energy projects.

ExxonMobil responded by announcing that it would sue the Federal government of Russia in August unless it would be allowed to exit the country.
