Russian gas giant Gazprom may tap a field hit by U.S. sanctions off the Pacific island of Sakhalin to provide China with gas under a recently signed deal, sources and analysts said on Tuesday.

As the project reaches its full capacity, the amount of Russian pipeline gas supplies to China would grow by 10 billion cubic meters per year, totalling 48 bcm per year, including supplies via the existing Power of Siberia pipeline. The sanctions prevent foreign companies from tapping hydrocarbons at such fields, and the possible gas exports from Yuzhno-Kirinskoye may show that Russia has learned how to get around the sanctions.
