A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Vitaly Khotsenko, Governor of the Omsk Region, took place at St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2024.

The parties reviewed the key areas of cooperation. Particular attention was paid to the ongoing implementation of the 2021–2025 program for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the Omsk Region.

In the first three years of the program implementation, Gazprom created conditions required for pipeline gas supplies to more than 8,000 households and a number of boiler houses in 36 localities of the Bolsherechensky, Gorkovsky, Kormilovsky, Moskalensky, Nazyvaevsky, Odessky, Omsky, and Sherbakulsky Districts. Apart from that, the technical possibility for gas infrastructure expansion was created for the city of Omsk and its neighboring districts: Azovsky and Omsky.

To that end, the Company built four gas pipeline branches with gas distribution stations (GDSs), namely the Valuevskaya, Nazyvaevsk and Nalimovskaya GDSs, and GDS-29 in Omsk, constructed a connecting gas pipeline from GDS-29 in Omsk to the city's gas distribution networks and laid 300 kilometers of inter-settlement gas pipelines.

At present, Gazprom is building another two gas pipeline branches with three GDSs, namely the Bolsherechenskaya, Ingaly and Tarskaya GDSs, as well as a connecting gas pipeline to stretch from the Tarskaya GDS to the existing gas distribution networks near the Tara town in the Tarsky District. The construction of an inter-settlement gas pipeline towards six localities in the Okoneshnikovsky District is underway.

Within the Omsk Region's localities already covered by the gas grid, additional gas grid expansion is underway: at no cost to consumers, gas pipelines are laid to the boundaries of private households, including those situated in gardeners' non-commercial partnerships, and to boiler houses of medical facilities and educational entities. For instance, two modular boiler houses in the Alexeevka village of the Kormilovsky District were connected to the gas grid today as part of the Forum. The boiler houses supply heat to a kindergarten, a school and a medical-and-obstetric center.

At the Omsk Refinery of Gazprom Neft, the production process is being upgraded on a systematic basis. As a result, in the first nine months of 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023, oil refining increased by 4 per cent, the supply of gasolines to the domestic market grew by 5 per cent, and the supply of diesel fuel went up by 9 per cent.

The work on increasing the effectiveness of the enterprise's production activities continues. For example, in the autumn of 2024, construction of the Biosphere biological water treatment facilities was completed. They will make it possible to achieve a better, almost 100 per cent, purification of water used in the refinery; the enterprise will switch to closed-cycle water consumption.

At another production facility of Gazprom Neft, the Omsk Lubricant Plant, a hi-tech complex for producing domestic base synthetic oils was launched in 2023. As a result, their output tripled in the first nine months of 2024 versus the same period of 2023, and the plant became the leader in Russia in this product segment. With the participation of Gazprom, the NGV fuel market is actively developing in the Omsk Region. A total of ten gas filling stations currently work in the region under the Gazprom brand name. The Company is looking into the possibilities of further expanding their network.

Gazprom pays great attention to supporting projects of social significance for the region. Inter alia, in late 2023, Gazprom Neft provided renovations and urban improvements to a new space for sports and leisure activities in the Sovetsky Park located in Omsk and planted an alley of lindens and pines in the park; the works were performed under the Home Towns social investment program. The visitors of the park can play football, volleyball, badminton and enjoy walking.
