「サハリン２」資産、２１００億円減　事業継続不透明で―三井物産・三菱商事

　三井物産と三菱商事は２日、出資するロシア極東の液化天然ガス（ＬＮＧ）事業「サハリン２」の資産価値を減額したと発表した。３月末に比べた６月末時点の減額幅は２社合計で２１７７億円に上る。ロシアが事業を別会社に移す方針を打ち出し、先行きがさらに不透明になったためだ。
　１２．５％を出資する三井物産の資産価値は１３６６億円減の９０１億円、持ち分１０．０％の三菱商事は８１１億円減の６２２億円。両社とも３月末にサハリン２の再評価を行ったが、今回は前回を上回る減額幅となった。（2022/08/02-17:48）

Major Japanese trading houses Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi Corp. have lowered the value of their assets in the Sakhalin-2 oil and natural gas development project as of the end of June by a total of 217.7 billion yen from three months earlier.
   The move comes amid growing uncertainty over the future of the project in the Russian Far East after Moscow decided to have a new company take its control.
   Mitsui, which currently holds a 12.5 pct stake in the project, cut the value of its assets by 136.6 billion yen to 90.1 billion yen, while Mitsubishi, which owns 10 pct, slashed the value by 81.1 billion yen to 62.2 billion yen.
   The two Japanese traders had reassessed the value of their Sakhalin-2 assets at the end of March. The downward revisions announced on Tuesday were larger than those of March.
   In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to allow a new domestic company to seize control of the Sakhalin-2 project.
