MOSCOW, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) wants to expand its presence in Russia by entering “a huge-scale long-term liquid gas and oil project” with local companies on the Yamal peninsula, its chief executive said on Wednesday.

“It is not like building a house, it is like building a city. It will take a very long time. And of course we will work with Russian companies,” Jeroen van der Veer told Reuters in Moscow.

Russia’s gas export monopoly Gazprom (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile , Research) holds most of the gas reserves on Yamal. It has yet to start production and build pipelines to evacuate gas from the remote peninsula north of the Arctic Circle.
