Gas and oil production
In 2019, Gazprom (excluding the entities investments wherein are classified as joint operations) produced:
- 500.1 billion cubic meters of natural and associated gas;
- 16.7 million tons of gas condensate;
- 40.8 million tons of oil.
Gas production strategy
Gazprom pursues the strategy of producing gas in the volumes adjusted by demand.
The Company's strategic gas production regions for the long term include the Yamal Peninsula, Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and the Russian continental shelf.
When bringing promising fields into production, Gazprom aims to ensure economic efficiency by expanding gas production facilities concurrently with gas transmission, comprehensive processing and storage capacities.
Oil production strategy
Oil business development is among Gazprom's strategic goals. Gazprom Neft accounts for the bulk of the Gazprom Group's oil production.
The key objective of Gazprom Neft in the period up to 2030 is to evolve into a next-generation company serving as a model of efficiency, technological effectiveness and safety for other oil companies of the world.
In order to attain these goals, Gazprom Neft will strive for maximum cost-efficiency in the extraction of the remaining reserves from the current resource base by employing best optimization practices, reducing the cost of proven technologies, and introducing and adopting new technologies on a mass scale.
Gazprom Group's production capacities in Russia
As of December 31, 2019, the Gazprom Group was developing 144 hydrocarbon fields in Russia. The Nadym-Pur-Taz oil- and gas-bearing region in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area remains the main gas production center for Gazprom. The Group develops its oil deposits primarily in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area – Yugra, as well as in the Tomsk, Omsk, Orenburg and Irkutsk Regions and in the Pechora Sea.
