On Monday April 28, Austrade, the Australian Trade Commission are conducting a Business Opportunities Briefing, on the Sakhalin Island Projects, at their offices at Level 25, Exchange Plaza, 2 The Esplanade, Perth.
The briefing will examine the potential investment opportunities for Australian companies that are arising from the commencement of the first two oil and gas development projects in the Russian Far East region of Sakhalin Island.

Total expected investment over the life of the resource is expected to be US$100 billion.
The workshop will present an outline of projects being developed and planned, potential business opportunities associated with both the projects and associated infrastructure and service requirements, details of Austrade's program to help Australian exporters identify and develop business opportunities, and provide opportunities to discuss business opportunities with presenters and others at the workshops.
