Mr. Mikhelson also added that General Electric was likely to take part in the project. He explained that the matter concerned the engagement of companies within the long-term cooperation in the project.

On the 17th of June 2016, Novatek signed an agreement on strategic partnership and cooperation with Saipem and General Electric.
