Speech by Alexey Miller at pre-holiday conference call

“On behalf of the Gazprom Management Committee and my personal behalf, I would like to congratulate all the subsidiary companies’ heads, employees and gas industry veterans on the coming New Year and Christmas!

The expiring year was rather hard for the global and domestic economies. Nevertheless, under the conditions of the global economic crisis our Company demonstrated high reliability, relevant flexibility and ability to promptly respond to market challenges”.

Speech by Alexey Miller at the meeting of the Commission for Modernization and Technological Development of Russia’s Economy under the Russian Federation President

“Dear Mr Medvedev! Dear participants of the meeting!

Nowadays, wide application of sci-tech achievements is a prerequisite for the development of any company.

This is even more crucial for Gazprom, which delivers unique and, at the same time, extremely sophisticated projects in hydrocarbon production, transportation and processing sectors.”

Speech by Alexey Miller at the meeting of Prime Ministers of Russia and China with the business community in Beijing

“Russia and China are strategic partners in various areas, including, first of all, the energy industry. Russia holds abundant hydrocarbon resources in the east, while China’s demand for energy carriers is constantly growing irrespective of the global economic situation. It is obvious that establishing long-term mutually-beneficial and partnership relations in the natural gas supplies sector is a strategic target that, if reached, will promote sustainable development of our countries”.

Speech by Alexey Miller at the European Business Congress

“The questions ‘How much should oil cost?’ and ‘What will be the oil price in the foreseeable future?’ are not rhetoric. The energy sector is the cornerstone of the world economy. Therefore, the question whether we will reach what many people call the ‘fair price’ for oil will determine to a major extent 1) When and 2) How the economic crisis will be overcome.”

Speech by Alexey Miller at the Russian – Japanese Economic Forum

“…well-coordinated work provided for a new source of energy, a new resource base for Asia and the Pacific Rim, including for Japan, which is the major consumer of Sakhalin LNG, as some 65 per cent of the gas is delivered to four major electric power utilities and five gas companies of Japan by long-term contracts for 25 years.”
