This study examines the political, economic and industrial issues underpinning efforts to develop Northeast Asia's major energy resources, focusing on the frontier projects of Sakhalin, the Tarim Basin and Yakutsk. It argues that the scale and interrelated nature of the projects means that solutions must be developed not through bilateral deals, but through a regional framework, including government-led efforts to develop a regional gas grid in tandem with government-industry collaboration to develop the major reserves.
