Background
Gazprom and LUKOIL are bound by the 2014–2024 General Agreement on Strategic Partnership.
On October 9, 2015, associated petroleum gas started flowing to Gazprom’s Sosnogorsk gas processing plant from the northern group of fields developed by LUKOIL-Komi. Prior to that, Gazprom and LUKOIL implemented a joint project for rearranging the gas supply scheme for consumers within the Pechora industrial cluster.
Together with their Kazakh partners, both companies are engaged in geological exploration and development of the Tsentralnoye oil, gas and condensate field in the Caspian Sea.
