Hello, my name is Yulia Vasileva I am the Utilities Technologist of the LNG plant.
I am taking care of mainly water and waste water treatment units,
making sure that the guys who work over here have safe, portable water,
making sure that we don’t discharge any contaminated water to the Aniva Bay
which is an important fishery zone,
making sure that we have different types of water for our process.
We need, indeed, to take care of the local environment, because first of all,
it gives profit and jobs to many people on the island,
like indeed here we have a few types of valuable salmon fish,
which is sold not only in Russia but also outside Russia, like to countries like Japan.
And even in the middle of the plant, well,
we have a small river which is a salmon river and in August
we can see lots of salmon coming up just in the middle of the plant going to the spawning area.
Well, we are standing here at the shore of the Aniva Bay.
This is a very important recreational area during summertime and lots of people come here for swimming,
but now it is freezingly cold out here, even though it’s March time and Spring has just started,
but it’s still quite cold and chilly over here.
I think that it’s not the absolute temperature,
the low absolute temperatures which is a problem over here but the wind factor.
The wind chill factor here can be quite substantial,
like a few times we even had snow formation in the buildings
when the absolute temperature was just minus-5 but the chill factor caused snow formation.
I think that here we have a very professional environment,
and I wouldn’t say that it doesn’t matter if it’s men or women,
because men and women are definitely very different, but well,
if you are a professional person and you work with professional people you just do it altogether,
and in the companies like Sakhalin Energy and hopefully all other Shell locations,
it’s indeed quite pleasant to be a woman working in a male environment.
I feel, indeed, very touched now, because soon I will leave this project and I know that it meant,
it was a quite significant part of my life.
People whom I met here over different phases of the project,
things that you have done together, all the difficulties we’ve been through,
it all gives very strong emotions, actually.
I’m not sure that I can put it rightly in wording but yeah,
it’s a little bit difficult.
It’s very difficult to explain in words why I am so proud of being here,
but It’s really exciting and it really touches quite deep to be involved in the projects like that.
