Moscow, Sept 15 (Petra) -- Russia’s Ministry of Energy announced on Tuesday an 8 percent year-on-year increase in revenues from sea-borne liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports during August, with flows exceeding $1.3 billion over the latest half-month period according to available data.

In a statement, the ministry said the rise in LNG export revenues reflects higher shipment values in recent weeks, as Russia continues to export sea-borne LNG to foreign markets despite challenges facing its energy sector.
