• expanding the existing corridors and creating the new ones for pipeline gas export to Europe;
• arranging pipeline gas supplies to Asia-Pacific countries;
• nhancing the export portfolio with additional volumes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be delivered, inter alia, from the Shtokman project and prospective LNG facilities in the Far East;
• developing small deliveries of LNG and compressed natural gas abroad;
• selecting and implementing power generation projects in Europe.
