38 The Import Structure of LNG from Russia to Japan by Cognitive …

38.4.2 Comparison with Past Studies
Motomura (2009) stated that the cause of the Sakhalin 2 problem was mainly the
expansion of project costs and environmental problems. This analysis also shows
that Gazprom’s acquisition of interest itself has been fixed since before the business
freeze. However, after the entry of the Gazprom appearance of environmental issue
articles are decreased. But it is difficult to say the entry of Gazprom is the main cause.
On the other hand, it can be said that the LNG technology acquired by Sakhalin 2 is
the main cause.
38.5 Summary
In this study, we analyzed two LNG projects from the perspective of energy security,
economy, technology, and politics. The method of we had developed is combining
“cognitive map” and “text analysis” to quantify the qualitative data collected from
four major Japanese newspapers during the period of 1991–2017.
Even though, Russian natural gas export strategy shifted from Europe to Asia
because of many turning points; Shale revolution, Ukrainian Crisis, and so on. Japans
entry into a large-scale business as a stakeholder has high risk. It is desirable to enter
in the field such as equipment construction like the Yamal LNG project.
