Over the past ten years of implementing the Eastern Gas Program, Gazprom has laid a strong foundation for gas industry development in the east of Russia. The Company built a formidable resource base with more than 5 trillion cubic meters of gas, set up gas production centers in Sakhalin and Kamchatka, constructed the Russian Far East’s first inter-regional Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system and the Sobolevo – Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky gas pipeline, and created a total of 9,200 new jobs in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), with 4,800 jobs expected to be added thanks to the Chayandinskoye field, the Power of Siberia gas trunkline, and the Amur gas processing plant (GPP).
The newly-established Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers are undergoing active pre-development, with Power of Siberia and the Amur GPP under construction.
Thirty gas pipelines with a total length of some 430 kilometers have been built in the FEFD under the Regional Gasification Program, bringing gas to 42 population centers, 21,400 households and apartments and 80 boiler houses. In 2017, Gazprom allocated RUB 9.5 billion for gasification purposes relating to the region.
In ten years, 43 state-of-the-art sports facilities have been constructed in the FEFD within the Gazprom for Children program. The Gazprom Group paid RUB 24 billion in taxes to the regional authorities.
