Gazprom to Speed Up Exploration Activities in Eastern Russia

Gazprom’s CEO Alexey Miller moderated a meeting of the company’s Management Committee at Gazprom’s headquarters in Moscow.

“The meeting was dedicated to the resource base development needed for the Eastern Gas Program and carried out, inter alia, as part of the Power of Siberia gas transmission system (GTS),” the company said in a statement.

“The meeting addressed, in particular, planning and arranging of work on exploration and pre-development of fields in the Sakhalin, Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers.

It was noted that in those regions Gazprom owned abundant gas reserves enabling the Company to secure sufficient long-term gas supplies to Russian and foreign consumers,” Gazprom said.

Taking into account the intensified growth of gas demand in this region, the company’s specialized structural units were tasked to speed up and expand the scope of exploration activities in the fields of the Sakhalin, Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers.
