Dear colleagues!

Dear colleagues, on the threshold of our professional holiday – Oil and Gas Industry Workers Day – we have received a congratulatory message from the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev:

“Moscow, Kremlin.

Dear friends!

I would like to congratulate you on your professional holiday – Oil and Gas Industry Workers Day!

Russia is an energy industry leader, and the oil and gas industry’s success is highly important for the national economic and social sectors, for the prosperous development of Russian regions.

Today, in the times of ongoing innovative development programs it is crucial to reinforce the sci-tech potential of the society, raise the efficiency of energy resources production, upgrade the transport infrastructure, develop new fields and attract investments in hydrocarbons processing. And, of course, special attention should be paid to environmental safety.

I am confident that your professionalism and abundant practical experience will keep contributing to higher working efficiency and product quality. I wish you health and all the very best.

Dmitry Medvedev, President of the Russian Federation”.

Esteemed colleagues, dear friends!

At present, Gazprom plays a key role in Russia’s economy, its energy security, in solidifying the country’s positions in the international energy markets. Gazprom has long been a key and reliable supplier of Russian and foreign consumers as well as a contributor to social stability. We understand that our joint efforts and the results of these efforts influence greatly the wellbeing of millions of people. And you know that we do attach big significance to this social responsibility and, what is most important, we can very well cope with it.

Gazprom today is a rapidly developing company and, dear colleagues, we are pursuing an ambitious goal – making Gazprom a global energy market leader. I am convinced that together we will undoubtedly attain this goal.

On the threshold of the professional holiday, I would like to wish all of you new professional achievements, happiness, health, prosperity to you and your beloved ones. Happy holiday, colleagues!
