Reference

The German company Siemens was established in 1847. The company started working in Russia back in 1853, and this year Siemens celebrates a 150-year anniversary of its operation on the Russian market. Siemens is the world’s leading producer of electronics and electrical engineering devices used in many spheres of high-tech production.

Siemens supplies equipment and conducts engineering and project works for the metal working, mining, oil and gas and petrochemical industries, pulp & paper and food businesses. The company has its branches in 189 countries of the world. In 2002, Siemens’ turnover in Russia and worldwide exceeded Euro 800 million and Euro 84 billion, respectively.

Gazprom and Siemens have been cooperating since 1993. The main projects were implemented in the sphere of telecommunications and technological process automation.

In particular, the companies created the Moscow Digital Communications Zone, Gazsvyaz’s Data Transmission Network, Caspiygazprom’s Automated Telephone System Network, and Gaztelecom’s Communications System. The companies also automated the gas complex treatment unit at the Yamburgskoye field.

In the meantime, Gazprom and Siemens keep working on automating the technological process of the Blue Stream and Zapolyarnoye-Urengoy gas pipelines and on creating the Mezhregiongaz communications network.

At the same time, the companies are elaborating the projects on automating the Yamburgskoye field production and gas condensate treatment facilities. Among the priority spheres of cooperation are automated control of and telemechanics systems for the Unified Gas Supply System facilities and development of telecommunications networks and information technologies.

In August 2003, Siemens acquired the turbomachinery manufacturing business from ALSTOM. Thus, Gazprom and ALSTOM’s joint projects on supplying compressor stations for the Polish section and 25 MW compressors for the Russian section of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline project, are becoming a subject of cooperation between Gazprom and Siemens.
