Company history
Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar is among the oldest enterprises of Gazprom. It was Kuban that supplied gas to Russia’s central regions in the 1960s. On November 16, 1995 the Kubangazprom Production Association was set up under the Gas Industry Ministry. Kubangazprom was headed by Vasily Dinkov who was subsequently appointed the Minister of the Gas Industry and, later on, of the Oil Industry of the USSR.
Throughout the years of its history, Kubangazprom has shaped into a production complex embracing several businesses, such as hydrocarbons production and transmission, underground storage etc. In 2007, upon taking of measures aimed at restructuring Kubangazprom through the unbundling of new subsidiaries from Gazprom, the company was reshaped into a gas production company.
On March 22, 2010 Kubangazprom changed its brand name to Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar.
Major activities
Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar is mainly focused on the arrangement of geological exploration and drilling operations, gas condensate and oil fields pre-development and operation, gas condensate processing and gas facilities capital construction. The company’s production facilities are located in the Krasnodar Krai, Rostov Oblast, Stavropol Krai, Republic of Adygea and Kalmykia.
The company is employing over 2,000 people. Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar is developing 57 fields including 31 gas fields, 22 gas condensate fields and 4 oil and gas condensate fields.
The company pursues the objective of improving the production process through advanced technologies adoption, management structure streamlining and untapped reserves activation.
The company conducts geological exploration and annually builds up hydrocarbon reserves, which prevail over the hydrocarbon feedstock production rates.
Environmental protection
Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar complies with all environmental norms and standards. The company has elaborated the Environmental Policy providing for regular environmental actions: on-site environmental monitoring, equipment of sites for waste gathering and storage, soil remediation. The company applies cutting-edge techniques and mechanisms of environmental management.
In 2009 the company launched a large-scale environmental project in the Krasnodar Krai – Protection of the Yasenskaya Sandbar. The protection works are targeted against the destruction of the Yasenskaya Sandbar by the Sea of Azov. For this purpose an alongshore dyke and a wave suppression beach are being built along the sandbar’s seaside. As a result, it will be possible to create conditions for maintaining the ecological balance and promoting the tourism sector in the regions adjacent to the Sea of Azov.
Social policy
The company is committed to the principle of fostering the socio-economic development of the regions, in which Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar operates. The company acts as a sponsor for many orphan homes, supports various social initiatives and offers help to a lot of socially disadvantaged people.

Prospects
The company executes a long-term development program for gas, oil and gas condensate production. The program stipulates a set of actions. In particular, drilling of the ultra-deep exploratory well No.1 was launched in April 2008 in the Krasnoarmeysky District, Krasnodar Krai. According to geological estimates, the Krupskaya area contains abundant hydrocarbons resources that may considerably build up production by Gazprom dobycha Krasnodar.
Putting onstream the Peschanoye oil and gas condensate field will raise liquid hydrocarbons production more than twofold.
