Gazprom sets up East-Oriented Project Management Division

Alexey Miller, Gazprom’s Management Committee Chairman signed an executive order to set up an East-Oriented Project Management Division within the Company’s Administration.

Victor Timoshilov was named as said Division’s Head.

“Over 2004, Gazprom has done a big scope of fruitful work to establish partnership, mutually beneficial and long-term prospect-oriented relations with Asia Pacific, entering into strategic cooperation agreements with the largest Chinese and Indian oil and gas corporations as well as finalizing the preparation of a program on comprehensive field development in Eastern Siberia and the Far East.

The Asia Pacific region, and China in the 1st place, is experiencing a real fuel boom, with energy consumption growing more intensively than in any other part of the world. Taking this fact into account when developing the Company as a global energy firm, Gazprom’s east-oriented oil and gas strategies have been identified as a top priority business.

In this regards, the newly established Division will be tasked with promoting Gazprom’s projects eastwards,” – maintained Alexey Miller, Gazprom’s Management Committee Chairman.
