Noyabrsk hosted a meeting between Gazprom and the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YaNAO) Government moderated by Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Company’s Management Committee and Dmitry Kobylkin, Governor of the YaNAO. The meeting considered the crucial issues of interaction between the parties.

The meeting participants stressed a high level of cooperation achieved by Gazprom and the YaNAO, particularly within the Company’s investment projects in the Okrug, social programs and gas deliveries to consumers.

In 2010 Gazprom constructed facilities at the Bovanenkovo, Vyngaiakhinskoye, Yety-Purovskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Medvezhye, Urengoyskoye, Kharvutinskoye, Yamburgskoye and Yamsoveyskoye fields in the YaNAO in parallel with active construction of gas pipelines including the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas trunkline system and the Obskaya – Bovanenkovo railroad. It was highlighted that regular operation of the railroad to its terminal point – the Karskaya station – was launched in February 15.

Great efforts were taken to transfer the ownership of the socio-cultural and utility facilities to municipal entities. Alexey Miller and Dmitry Kobylkin participated in the celebrations devoted to gas facilities commissioning in the Muravlenkovskoye and Novogodneye gas and oil fields and visited the construction site of the Zenit sports and health center being built as part of the Gazprom to Children program.

In addition, a triennial agreement on socioeconomic cooperation was signed in Noyabrsk by Gazprom neft and the YaNAO Government.
